The military isn't even taking people with a GED anymore. They REQUIRE a high school diploma. I have a buddy that fired a pistol into the air about 7 years ago on New Years up in Plano and the police caught him and charged him with Deadly Conduct ...a felony. He served 2 years. He's had an incredibly tough time finding pretty much ANYTHING in the last 5 years.

I can't take your post seriously with that smiley in your sig.

Is there different degrees of deadly conduct? I got a buddy who got deadly conduct for driving around popping kids with an airsoft gun, but it was only a misdemeanor.

Yes, if a firearm is involved it is enhanced.

You can teach a rebel to follow the rules, but you can't hang a set of nuts on a pussy.

Thanks. I don't mind peeps disagreeing, and I don't want the shitbags in my military anymore than anyone else. I'm just trying to draw a conclusion from a few assumptions.
1. It takes balls to be in an organization whose primary goal is to kill the enemy.
2. Getting into fights, pulling stupid stunts and raising general mayhem is a better indicator of a solid set than some misguided notion of the creme de la creme and all their efforts to conform, fit in and not rock the boat.

You're kidding, right?

misdemeanor

You're both kidding, right? It's Mr. Meaner.

I wouldn't say the MOST qualified, but it damn sure ain't what it used to be. They can be a little stricter and dont take the trash.

well most is relative to what used to be "workable" It sucks sometimes when you meet a good kid that made a poor decision at 16 years old...God knows I was no saint at that age.

You should be careful with your perception of what I was suggesting. I have a stack of medals, ribbons and letters of com from my 3 tours, 2 of them in the war. When I got out I staffed a center for vets who didn't return as luckily as I did. I've done my time on the front end and I gave the extra two shits after it was all said and done. I had several friends who had the option of jail or military. I'm not saying accept the trash. However, if I had to choose between some wormy shit who never got into trouble, and the guy who doesn't mind mixing it up a little, I'm gonna go with the guy who doesn't mind mixing it up. You can teach a rebel to follow the rules, but you can't hang a set of nuts on a pussy. Just don't look right. Just because you have a record for doing something stupid doesn't mean you didn't learn and doesn't mean you can't make a career of the military. When I joined, there were enough salty dogs who knew that. From what I hear though new recruits get training time out cards and don't have to wear boondocks. Perhaps you're suggesting the military has gone a bit too far with the kindler gentler thing? Maybe a few guys who raised a little hell and payed for it is just what we need in this fledgling first class organization. WTF is a 'second class' organization anyways? Are you suggesting the guys in the military before a person such as yourself served were involved in an inferior organization? I'm wondering if that implication would be as well received with the last couple generations of vets...

[HarrisonTX]

I said felony, not Mister meanor

You're kidding, right?

misdemeanor

[Ruffdaddy]

haha! I love how people still see the military as a second class organization or a good "back up" plan. We are way past the post draft days when all uncle sam required was a pulse. The military is downsizing and taking only the most highly qualified applicants.....Its good for the military as we have the best "qualified" personnel...but sucks if you are a recruiter.
