Military I Go

[Bree]

I have made up my mind. I plan to leave for the Army in the summer of O8. I believe that many of you did not know or just learned recentlly. I am sorry for not telling you before hand, but hear are my reasons for not saying beforehand...

I was almost "scared" of your response, how would you take it?

Many of my family members are against it... and they have showed it in many ways.


and before you go asking why, here are my reasons....

1.I actually have been wanting to go to the army since grade school...
2.I mean, it will give me the knowledge to help save people I love, not hurt them
3.You see, I want to be a nurse.. and they have programs for that... and they will put me in school for it
4. it hurts me that I might go to Iraq and I will be missing out on my family life, but if I am needed to defend my country, then I will do it with helping hands.. and green thumbs
5. I am against the war, but I am there for the cause of defending my country's honor, freedom and rights

So..That is my reasons and I DO WANT RESPONSES!

[Sheng]

Good luck.

[Bree]

Wasn't wanting your response, nor did I ask for it.

[Sheng]

Read my rant.

[Bree]

Did, commented, now do what it says

[Sheng]

I do, it's you who's not following it. Oh, forget it. I'm not letting us flame here. Just continue on with what you said about the military. I'm staying out.

[Bree]

Good.

*ignoring the squabbling*


It always, always worries me when my friends say they want to go into the army, or the navy, or the air force... With things the way they are at the moment (terrorism and wars...) it scares me that next time I see a report of deaths somewhere, it'll be someone I know personally.

But I can also understand why you'd want to do this. If you can do some good out there, maybe it's just about worth the risks.

And it's your decision - as long as you know all the arguments for and against it, I won't try to change your mind. You know what you're doing.

A thousand good lucks with it all, and keep us updated so I don't start panicking about you... You take care of yourself, alright? Otherwise Lali will be very annoyed.

[Bree]

Of course, I shall keep you updated.

And a little reminding, It isn't till next year, so we still have some time.

Though I would appreciate if some people on this board would write to me, while I am gone.

*Poke Poke*

[Lali]

You'll be surprised how quickly a year goes.

I'll write, if you tell me where to send stuff!

[Bree]

I will, trust me I will.

But I don't know yet, I mean, I haven't signed up so they won't tell me anything.
