To: Who knew, (1) Most policemen, firemen, nurses, clergy make MORE than minimum wage. Even some day care workers and some service workers make more than minimum wage. (2) You ASSUME to much. For I HAVE WALKED in their shoes. It would take many pages for me to do just a summary of what I have been through. Therefore, you should not JUDGE! (3) For those that serve their country, there are some benefits that come with the territory. That is just a fact. (4) Some people are looking for money to finance education and I was merely pointing out an option. (5) Some people may want to 'give back' or 'do something for their country in return for the benefits'. Just because YOU obviously don't, does not mean everyone is like that.

To: Who Knew, No, I am not a recruiter. Yes, I am well aware that we are in a WAR. Afterall, I could get called up to go. Especially, since they need medical personnel. I wanted people to know the 'schooling benefits and bonuses' that the military are offering. Just letting them know their options. I am in the group of people who believe in serving one's country! I am not in the group of those who merely "ask what can their country can do for them and only what they can get". I am in the group who ask 'what can I do for my country'.

My friend, for the ARMY, the age limit is 42 YEARS of age!!! Whomever gave you your info has not reviewed the new regulations. As far as going overseas, that is a possibility. But then again, one might not go. From a SOLDIER

The military(especially, the ARMY), military RESERVES are offering bonuses. The ARMY & Marine Corp are offering bonuses to enslist up to 60,000. They also, have in addition to that, several options to pay for schooling. This includes the student repayment program, GI Bill and tuition assistance. From a soldier,
