| You may have already spoken to a recruiter or thought about
signing up. This is NOT intended to discourage you from signing up, but
merely to inform you of facts your recruiter will probably won't discuss. Do you fully understand the impact of the military on your life after signing up, and the impact on your civilian life in the future? Here are facts to think about BEFORE you sign the contract: * Officer commissions are not the result of promotions. They must attend West Point or another US military college first. Promotions of military personnel without officer training school (personnel who re-enlist) usually stop at the level of sergeant. * Today Army, Navy, Marines and special forces exist for this reason - kill people to defend America and start wars we don't need. * Other than patriotism, emotions are not part of recruiting or the military. Recruiters are trained as salesman. They will tell you anything and promise you the Moon to get you to sign up. Verbal promises mean nothing. You have no recourse whatsoever if government promises for the job you want later prove fictitious or are not kept. If a recruiter does not reach a certain number of sign-ups each month, they can be transferred from their cushy, soft recruiting job into a field combat unit. Commanding officers of recruiters only care about numbers, not how they get them. Scrutinize every word a recruiter tells you. * If you are married or have children, forget about supporting your family on your income unless they can live in a cardboard box. Your pay is calculated to support ONLY YOU. Remember your family is not in the military - you will be. Only by living on a military base can you survive on that meager income. Men and women overseas have suffered unbearable pain after hearing their family back home lost their home due to insufficient income. Military does not care about it. You will not be able to go home to console your family. Your family is left to fend for themselves. Military has zero sympathy for personal problems. It is unwise to sign up for the military if you have a spouse at home with a long term illness. * Military (government) may promise you a job in the profession you want. READ every word of your contract. You will read in the military contract the US government is NOT required to give you the job you want. If they do not give you the job you want there is NO recourse. You may not be given the job you wanted based on your test scores. You will get a job which matches your skills and psych profile. If you don't measure up in post-boot camp school, you can end up in the infantry. * Can training they give you for a specific job be useful later in civilian life? Not always. Several weeks of training after boot camp will be provided for the job you will do. A few examples are fixing classified electronics and radio equipment, servicing aircraft, working on a aircraft carrier flight deck, handling and loading bombs, missiles, ordinance and tank shells or whatever job they decide you will do. These types of jobs are useless for any job in civilian life. Even if you are trained to service/repair military aircraft, in civilian life you must still go through the new training to work on civilian aircraft. Then take the same civilian tests to become certified as a licensed mechanic. Without that license you cannot service or make repairs on any civilian aircraft. Example of a promised job in the navy: A young man signed up in the navy to work on the flight deck of a aircraft carrier. That was his dream. He made it through boot camp and later graduated near the top of his class in flight deck school. Then he was sent to steamy hot Newport News, Virginia in August to his post on the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier. He was given a respiratory mask, a environmental suit to wear over that (not air conditioned) and a pneumatic needle gun. He was told that would be this job for the rest of his time in the military - stripping paint off floors and bulkheads. He did it and found his perspiration pooled up in his mask and had to empty it often. Why? Navy knew it was far cheaper to have their personnel do this work than to find a contractor to do it. * Job you ultimately get will depend on the psych profile they get from your grade school records (which they have legal access to) and other written tests they administer. If you have a certain mental profile and are physically fit, you could end up being trained in special ops or the seals to kill people. Otherwise known as "wet-work" for obvious reasons. Many service people who worked in special ops have a nightmare adjusting to civilian life later on. No matter what you hear or believe, the military is not concerned about your post-military civilian life. Some become murderers or serial killers as a result of insufficient or ineffective deprogramming. * You will be fighting wars which you will be told are defending America, and fight in other wars for national security. But a closer look at today's world shows wars over the past years have actually been about oil and power, with nothing to do with America's security. With Iraq the American people were PROMISED oil like it was the spoils of war. Instead, after thousands of Americans were killed all that oil was given away to British Petroleum (BP.) This adds credibility to the fact that America is still part of England despite the Declaration of Independence. Just because America's founding fathers declared independence from England does mean it actually happened. Do you want to sacrifice your life for oil? * You may be ordered to kill Americans even if though they are innocent. Not because these Americans represent a threat to America, but because of their political opinions. Are you ready to do that? * You may be ordered to use psychotronic weapons on innocent Americans with political opinions. Maybe even on your own family. These weapons can cause permanent incapacitation, mental illness or insanity all in the name of "national security." Can you live with yourself after doing that? * In the late 90's the US Supreme court ruled that ANYONE in the military is US government property. One soldier who was poisoned by a covert medical experiment was permanently incapacitated. He sued the military back in the nineties for doing this to him. Finally after reaching the US Supreme court a double ruling came out: 1. Military does NOT need to inform you or anyone when they experiment on military personnel. US Supreme court ruled YOU are government property while in the military. They own you and can do whatever they want to you. 2. Court ruled that only a local official must be told 30 days before they experiment on the public. * If you don't like being micro-managed then military life is not for you. They will dictate EVERY detail of your military life and indirectly, your personal life. * If you end up serving in a theater of war and are injured or have killed people, expect nightmares or PTSD later on in life. For some service people nightmares start years or decades after they leave the service. A friend was in the Korean war. PTSD hit him in the 1990's after he retired from a lifetime of professional civilian work. He still tries to deal with it today using prescription drugs. * You can unknowingly bring diseases home to your family such as engineered viruses and micoplasma-derived diseases. VA doctors who have never left the USA, have contracted these highly contagious diseases just from being in the same examination room with veterans. Civilian doctors are not trained to recognize or treat military diseases soon enough to prevent permanent damage to veterans health. Military diseases can put you in a wheel chair or worse. Pentagon admitted military engineered diseases have hurt more than 200,000 personnel in the 1991 gulf war. They became incapacitated with diseases we manufactured. * Everything you are asked to do must be considered an order. Obey it or face disciplinary action or a court martial and possible prison time. You can get kicked out of the military or be court martialed if you display rebellion or break the rules. When a officer speaks to you, consider it as coming from the lips of God. If you are mouthy and rebellious to your parents or family now, boot camp and military life will be even harder for you. * National Guard and Coast Guard are two services which do not routinely kill people as a mission. These two services function more like police agencies. National Guard is different - personnel can be called to full time duty overseas to function like army personnel to kill people at any time. * You can hold down a full time job at home and still serve in the National Guard on weekends. However - if you are ordered to serve full time overseas income from your full time job may stop cold. Even if your civilian employer keeps your job open for you, your family is suddenly living on your meager military income. Many houses of National Guard soldiers have already been lost to banks because of this. * There are gangs in the military similar to those on the streets. Gangs are relatively new to the military and never existed until about 20 years ago. Military will hire nearly anyone out of high school. To the military's credit they are trying to break up gangs and prevent formation of new gangs. Many of these gangs are black or Hispanic. They bring their street gang culture with them into military life where it has no place. Racism against whites by these groups is not uncommon. * Be sure your body's immune system is in good working order before signing up. During boot camp you will walk down between multiple medical techs and receive painful, multiple air-gun injections into both arms. These cocktails of vaccines help protect you from diseases common in other countries. Vaccination is inescapable. * Few know what they inject you with. They will never tell you what all the injections are. You are government property and don't need to know. Many of these vaccines are experimental with unknown short term and long term side-effects. If you become ill from any injection very few doctors are trained to deal with it. Nearly all civilian doctors today are trained to believe all vaccines are wonderful. Doctors think vaccines will never make you sick. Military doctors will never admit any vaccine made you sick. * Regardless of what service you sign up for, in boot camp you will be subjected to tear gas and bio-weapons protection training. You will be sent into a building filled with tear gas without wearing protection to experience what it will be like. Military tear gas is far stronger than watered-down tear gas used by civilian police for crowd control. If these facts do not both you, then maybe the military is just right for you. Otherwise consider attending college to obtain a high-paying professional job, instead of working at WalMart. Ted Twietmeyer |
