Why not doing risky stuff, I don't mean paragliding or base jumping. Maybe start with talking to someone else.
I work at a paragliding/hanggliding club. Both are very safe. Give them a try. They're both awesome.
Or being all he can be in the Army! Ends up being a paper pusher there too.
I know a guy who wanted to volunteer to go to Iraq and, after assessment, the army said no. He was working as a paper pusher and was apparently so bad at his job that they didn't even want him as cannon fodder.
Because the army is about teamwork or else you get others killed too.
Cant have a guy like that in a line unit going out, no can rely on him.
If it was around the time of 9/11, in the US military, we had a bunch of people wanting to sign up and be all patriotic. We didn't really have a people problem in OIF/OEF but unfortunately for the Army they had a budget problem. There were equipment shortages for stuff like the armor inserts for the PASGTs and the like. Marines always have a shortage of everything but now they really needed it.
Support the Troops was really Support the Defense Contractor contracts.
Also, I'd like to let everyone know the US is all Support the Troops but Fuck the Vets. I don't give a shit about one free bland meal at Golden Corral a year and $3 off of a $30 pizza. We need better VA services, we need the VA to be able to 'recognize' a lot more of service connected problems with an infrastructure to take care of it.
