Are you in the military? - United Bimmer Community

Alright I always thought there were only like two people on here that were in the military but the post your mug thread showed a few more than I expected. If you feel like it post where you are/were stationed and all that. I'm a plebe at the United States Merchant Marine academy. No this isn't the newest academy, the Airforce Academy is. And yes it does exist on Long Island and no it's not SUNY Maritime. I am going out to sea from June to November and then going back out the next March to November again. I was asked to be a DI so that might screw things up but I haven't decided yet. Anyway what branch are you, specialty, and/or anything else you feel like talking about.

you didn't give anyone an option for not being in the military.

Well... I figured if you weren't in the military you wouldn't select one of the options. Ergo, therefore hencforth? you can figure how many people are in the military by adding up those in the poll, and those that aren't by subtracting that number from the total. Anyway I was to lazy and it's too late now unless I remake the thread and get this one deleted which would in fact mean that I wasn't lazy if I was willing to do that. And thusly create a black hole of death and destruction due to the fact that I would have lied...

Enlisted Army 7 years. Currently going through MEB. I gave em my best, but I guess my best wasnt good enough. I fell from a fuel truck in 03 and have had multiple surgeries on my left arm to no avail. I guess if I was right handed it would be a different story. Proud to serve. POL NCO.

**Hoppy** · 03-04-2008, 10:14 PM

im not, but i hope to enlist after college. apply for OCS in the USMC. become an officer, and or go to DLI for Arabic.

**JetBlack328i** · 03-05-2008, 01:04 AM

smart move about becoming an officer but why not take ROTC during college after your second year you will get paid as an E5

**cainchapman** · 03-07-2008, 03:18 AM

You're obviously not a statistician then are you? The question was "military or not". Not "if you're in the military..."

And for the record. I'm not in the military.
