A friend of mine is deciding weather to join the army or not. for a while i thought she wanted to join cause she wanted to go to a good college, but she only want it for a mental breaking. I know her for a long time now and she hates drama, and I just started thinking of her in the camp. I don't know much of the army or how they treat or train there people, but shes sensitive and a great person who won't take crap from people. Though i can imagine a drill Sargent yelling at her and everyone pissed at her for causing something. I wonder if her reasons or right? I honestly don't want her to go cause i don't want another friend dying on me, but i told her ill support her choice. Anyone got any ideas?
join the army is not a joke.....once u're in u're in...and it takes dedication and guts when u're overseas fighting...i wanted to join the army but i don't think im fit enough to do all that work..majority is beause of the money u get 80000 for 6 months is pretty good...but ya...this is serious stuff and if that's wat she wants then SUPPORT her
Inform him about the negative points but whatever his choice is going to be you should support him. If he or she indeed leaves for duty then at least he knows someone is backing him up. Is it possible that he will go and serve in irak or afghanistan? Then you should strap him to your bed and never let him or she leave.
Maybe she can join the boot camps first were you get drilled like in the army before she really joins the army? Tell her you're worried about her and that you think it's not really her thing since you know her for a long time?
well I don't really know if her's is really a good reason, but if she seems that she's really set on joining, then you should just support her. you don't want to make her feel bad or make her doubt herself
i would say support her cause shes ur friend. friends should support eachother. but i would also tell her the negitive things about fighting this war. you can also tell her the good stuff about joining the military like u'll get self esteem, learn a lot of things, etc... i was also thinking about joining the military, but not for this war cause i think this war is pointless....
dying on you? maybe you can suggest she take breaks in less obligated circumstances? like backpacking? im not sure abt army where you are.. like how long is the contract.. 6 months? if its 6 then not too bad.. can treat it as a character training anyway.. edit: but hey.. if it requires joining the war.. no way.. taking a break or earning quick money is neither a good nor logical reason to join such a cause.. and as to being supportive or not.. is not a matter of agreeing with whatever a friend wants to do. It is to support her decisions after helping her make an informed decision and to be there for her whatever the outcome of that decision may be.
i dont think the yearly salary of your average army dude is 160 grand... 80 grand for 12 months more like.. unless you are a higher ranking officer
I say support her, If she has thought about it throughly, thought of the risks that she can face and is ready for it, support would be good. I understand as a good friend that you want her to be safe, so if you do have any concerns for her, just tell her
