| "I'll be honest, I am a fucking wuss, a coward, and all that good stuff. But I want to see what I'm capable of, I also have a poor time with self disipline." That describes plenty of people before they join the military.  It's not so much boot camp that makes the change in people though, that's just the starting point. It's being in the actual operational military that will do it for you. Don't do it for the President or the people really, do it for yourself and the relationship you have with your country. I for one don't serve my president, I serve America. And that's how it is with most people in the military really. It's kind of like certain higher ranking people I used to work with. I didn't like them at all but I respected the uniform they wear, not the person who was wearing it. |

| My friend is thinking of joining the air force and a recriuter told him that there might be a draft so it would be beneficial to sign up early and get a good position or something like that, thats why I asked. | |||

It's not always peaches and cream...you sign up, you have to take the cake and run with it sometimes. |

Originally posted by Sion Traydor AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA  Oh man, that is rich! Like I said, we're overmanned by 20,000 people and we're kicking out people left and right. I'm surprised that we're actually letting anyone in really. Hey, tell your friend to mention the words "force shaping" to his recruiter and see what kind of reaction he gets. Ask him what Palace Chase is too.  |

| I would only see a draft likely if there is a big ass world war which is going on for years and where US soldiers are needed everywhere. And well, that's not gonna happen in ten years at least. And i'm quite sure that even Bush wouldn't do a draft unless it's really necessary. That's just common sense. And even then, he wouldn't get it through the senate right?  About joining the military, I rather help with the technical/medical part. But then I succefully dodged the military here in Sweden... don't ask why.   |

| The possibility of a draft is still rather high. Not because Bush was re-elected, but because right now, we are pretty much focused on Iraq and if another country wanted to have a legit war with us, we'd have to do something to get great numbers of troops quickly if the country posed any threat to us. As for having a draft in Iraq, the probability is still rather low. Recruiters are doing a good job |

| Riiiight. The chances of a draft are slim to none. We have the proper manpower. And we're at no loss when it comes to people recruiting either. Ever since 9/11 (especially RIGHT after) it's been a mass flood. Wait, wtf? The second part, are you talking about a draft for Iraqi forces? wtf? What do you mean a draft in Iraq? |

| The draft is the draft. You said that we had both a high and a low chance of having one. Which is it? Which one did you mean, that is? | |||

Originally posted by Cymoro I've read that they've started recalling people who served in Gulf War I to active duty. Kinda scary. The reserves must be running out. If things get worse in Iraq, what will happen? |

| Legion: I'm just curious, if the Air Force wants to get rid of people, why do they still advertise? Is this just the nominal level of advertising on TV or is it above normal? Because I rarely see USAF commercials (heh 'commercials'), usually Navy or GoArmy.com type stuff. | |||

Good question  I rarely see them as well. But the answer is because even though we need to get people out, we'll always need young people to replace career long airman who are about to retire. It's all about balance, they need to keep the right proportions of people who know their job, and the people who are learning it to replace the ones who are getting out. I hope that made sense.  |

Made perfect sense Legion. I think it also has to with the fact that they're always looking for better qualified people to serve as well. You know, the higher the ASVAB, the more recruiters you get  As for the draft thing, let me just join in the club and say THERE WILL BE NO DRAFT. =D Honestly, I think they whole thing is over-hyped, over discussed, and under validated. Oh well, I guess that's how most things go. |
