I am soo FRIKING PISSED just found out my 16 year old daughter is signed up for the ASVAB she did
Edited on Fri Jul-25-08 05:09 PM by greenbriar
it on her own
Hubby's brother joined the army last year and is getting ready to deploy to Iraq and spent the last month here reqruiting and I guess she has this glorified idea of what it is like
I am sooooooo ****ing pissed and don't know what to
EDIT TO ADD..
She is gifted, is in the top 1/4 of her class. She sings like a dream...She will get Scholarships and does NOT need this to pay for college.
She is graduating HS one year early
she was supposed to go to college
I will NOT let her join the army
and she knows how we feel about this ****ing war
I only brought over the OP, but there are plenty of replies at the link.
Maybe she's actually interested in serving her country? *shrug* Maybe she knew it would piss her moonbatty BDS suffering mother crazy?
Greenbriar, you should realize that this is not your decision to make, and your daughter will decide what's right for her and it maybe the military. Your best bet is to suck it up and support your daughter with whatever she chooses to do, if you don't you run the risk alienating your daughter away from you.

Greenbriar's pissed? Damn, this is such a rare occurrence. :uhsure:

Hubby signed for daughter ...... he was drunk at the time. :popcorn:

While I agree with the essense and majority of your post,one small correction needs addressed. Until the Girl turns 18 as the daughter of Greebriar it is Greenbriars decision. Can't disregard parental responsibility & laws for convenience sake.

By the way, the greedy thorn primitive is being a poseur, a fake, using military acronyms like that.
It's really stupid.
Anyway.
It's an enormous bonfire, so only the first few primitive comments.

7. Whose life is it anyway?
We have NO CHOICE but to LET GO... Easier said than done.
Most primitives suggest the wayward daughter join ROTC or something, for the military experience, and to get college tuition paid. It's a mumble-jumbo of suggestions.

21. so, she is seriously thinking about joining...thanks to her uncle
she is not taking it through school, I would not be so upset if that were the case
she really thinks there is this glorified thing about the military thanks to her uncle
She and her her dad my hubby have already had serious talks about it. He has told me not to buck against it because it will push her more towards the military for sure
All I have to say is that I will NEVER sign anything and he better not either so if this is what she wants when she is 18 I can't stop her

I think the point is that moonbat mom can't stop her kid from joining the military once the child has turned 18.

See that's the trouble with raising your kids to be independent minded, they become independent minded.
But I agree with GreenBriar, she shouldn't join the Army. The Air Force is a much better branch to serve in. :-)

She's taking a test, not joining now. If she really wants to, she'll join when she's 18. Or who knows, her dad may support her in her decision.

Uh, they only need one parent's signature. It sounds like hubby is resigned to reality and will probably sign.

I'm not. Hey Nightwatcher, you dumb ****, she's NOT being drafted, you dumbass. This is voluntary. Oh, and go ahead and make her smoke a joint. First off, your dumbass would be arrested for child endangerment, next you'd be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and to top it off, you'd have a drug charge added.

DUmmies have no problem with a 16 year old girl getting an abortion without her parents' consent but taking an aptitude test is somehow beyond the pale???
Nevermind giving the kid a joint. She could just walk by the greedy thorn primitive's computer and get a contact high.
Sheesh!

Who stays an E-4 that long? I was and E-4 for less than two.

Every parent views his/her child as special. I can completely understand this; however, I've noticed that the child of every single DUmmie is not just "special". Every single DUmmie claims their child has genius-level (or near genius-level) intelligence. For instance, the greenidiot says in her post: "She is gifted, is in the top 1/4 of her class".
I have finally deduced how this is possible. The DUmmies are comparing the child's intelligence level to their own.
-
If I were greenbriar's child, I'd want to get away as soon as possible. :-)
I thought the ASVAB was just a test, like the SAT and the redneck SAT (the ACT). There are no commitments attached to it, other than if you intend to enlist. My brother took it in high school with no intention of joining the military... it was just another test. He did very well on the mathematics part.

When they gave me the ASVAB I rolled it up into a tight 'wand' and made a spear ..... they made me a Paratrooper! HOOAH! :-)

Even 25 plus years ago this was the case,just another set of competancy tests.
I think you hit on it with your first statement though and think it is revealing that she has been in consultation with her father already.
She has seen what a poor excuse for a human her mom is and wants to make her life better.
Greenbriar if you ever do visit this place hear this...your contempt for your husband by posting you are leaving him for a cruise ship singer along with your repeated attempts to paint him as a drunk (one who can afford huge rings and cruises :whatever:) has probably pushed your daughter to realize that your crazy life isn`t for her.
Look in a mirror and you will see the root of all your problems.

If you were in some National Guard units it would not be all that far fetched to be an e-4 for 8 years if you didn't want to leave the unit for another one located as much as 100+ miles from your current unit just to get promoted. There are also who knows how many E-6's and E-7s staying in untill they get their 30 - 40 years in and that is also jamming up the slots for the E-4's and E-5's for years.
Also it's not unusual for kids as young as 16 to take the ASVAB. They do it every year here in the local schools and its all voluntary. The kid probably did it to get out of class as much as anything and could just as easy change her mind on her own. However consisdering who her nutjob mom is, I'd do a 20 year hitch just to stay away from her.

Back in the day promotions were based on a 1000 point system and of course your MOS. Promotion to E5/Sgt in my MOS When I was in the Army was 998 pts for about four and a half yrs..

Ah ok. A friend of mine is in the AF Reserve and you're right, promotions are done differently.
Besides, no matter what branch she joins, it'll be the best decision she'll ever make.
