[quote:b629c]I've considered going to officer candidate school for the marines. Anyone know what thats like?[/quote:b629c]

Marine Officers Bootcamp is hard as shit to get in to, and is basically Boot Camp 2 - except with more shit involved. Certainly, the benefits are great, but -

As for all you cats who already have your "jobs" lined up for yourselves - think again. You may WANT that position, but if they think you should be slinging hash in a kitchen and cleaning pots and pans, thats where the fuck you'll be going. Dont kid yourself in thinking that any job is all lined up and ready for you.

As far as the "War On Iraq" - I actually dont agree with some of the reasons why we are going in there. This seems like a lot of continuing the fathers work for Bush. There are interesting things coming from inside the Bush camp - on the front, they are saying an Intermediate Occupational force resembling that of the Afghanistan model would be used, but "insiders" but that model at the one used in Japan. Interesting indeed.

Yes this man needs to be stripped of weapons which he feels confident in using, but I do not think we need to rewrite a countries way of life to suit ourselves.
