Why am I getting flamed for 1 simple comment? I didnt come here to get flamed by all of you. I came here for advice. Please, from now on, keep the negative comments out. And to set the record straight, the reason they did not call me back isnt because of my attitude. I hadnt even talked to them yet, aside from setting up an appointment to go and speak with them. How would know what my attitude was? Im guessing they didnt call me back, and they werent there, because they already filled their qouta for the month, and they werent doing their job. Well, ill be calling the C/O about it, and we'll see what they say.
Second, when I said I dont want to die for something I dont agree with in the first place, I was referring to War. I wasnt referring to Bush, I wasnt referring to Politics, and I wasnt referring to this country. I think War is pointless and stupid. Im a firm believer that it is 100% unnecessary, and that the World would be a better place without it. So why should I go and possibly get killed for something that I dont even agree with?
Joining the Police Force and joining the Military are 2 completely different things. I have no problem risking my life. I didnt mean to come off that way, but unfortunately, thats how some of you took it. I need to get a nice easy job like a Librarian?
Come on now.... thats the most ignorant thing Ive ever heard.
I understand that you risk your life as a LEO just as much, if not more than in the Military. As I said, I have no problem risking my life. Its risking my life for something that I dont agree with that bothers me. Id like to make the streets of this Country a safer place for us to live in. I want to help people. I DO NOT want to join the Military to be a slave to this country, and get killed for a government that doesnt give a **** about me anyway. If you guys cant understand that, then thats fine. I didnt know I was obligated to fight for my country. It is a free country, meaning I should be able to live my life how I want to. I like my life. I dont want it to end at the age of 21 over something so ignorant as War.
Now that we got all that out of the way, lets talk about the Job I want in the Coast Guard, since everything else is going nowhere. Does anyone know anything about it? Port Security Specialist? Whats that about? Whats involved? What are the requirements? Is it any harder than any other job in the Coast Guard to get?
