Military = best game I ever played and funnest job I have ever had. I get paid to sit at a desk, chat on I-club, learn to shoot an M-16, M-4, 9mm, shotgun..., get paid to take cruises, get to see the world, meet all kinds of cool people and experience tons of good foods.
only down side is its tough on the family and personal relationships at times, and if you get a dick as a supervisor that sucks to.

Not to turn this into a political thread but he's not in the military to attend schools, he's there to carry-out orders regardless. I'm not in the least bit crazy about what's happening in Iraq either but he volunteered to serve and most likely doesn't need sympathy. If he finished PRC and has a date lined-up for Ranger School then he's good to go. I’m sorry but it drives me nuts when civilians confuse and equate military proceedings, protocol, dedication, sacrafice, (etc) with obligations that can be dissolved with a two week notice in their world.
I had one course (Jumpmaster) and get postponed for the lack of planes because they were on deployment and another school due to insufficient class sizes because of OEF deployments. Everything worked out. Your friend will be fine.

he said pre-ranger is no joke, you get to do hundreds of push ups in gravel where your hands are bleeding.... They basically just go ***** out trying to get you to quit and if you survive, congrats you qualify for ranger, but nearly everyone quits within the first week i guess
He is also thinking about joining blackwater, but I am pushing him against that

honestly, it makes me sick that they get paid 4 to 5 times more for doing less and if the ish hits the fan, the Military gets blamed.
