I'd LOVE to be a fighter pilot, it was my dream when I was little. However, the fact that I have glasses takes away that option :(

Instead I'll be in infantry, hopefully get Jumpmaster and Rapplemaster. Basically any option that comes my way that offers more training I'll take without a second thought.

Hopefully I can get my eyes corrected for piloting. Other wise I don't mind being a Jarhead. Cousin was deployed in Recon. Took a lot of people out. Hey when you absolutely positively have to get it blown up over night, call the Marines. Ooh rah!

if you are willing to get corrective eye surgery and wait 2 years to show no vision degradation you can become a pilot in the RCAF.

I looked into it pretty heavily, wanting to fly fighters, but then i continued growing. now i'm past the safe ejection height restriction(i'm tall enough i'd hit the canopy before it cleared.)

Neo has officially been promoted to barf cleaner-upper and pukee hair holder.
I am honored to have that position. While your barfing I can steal your wallets!

It's creepy enough that people stalk Bungie via Webcams, but it's even worse how they stalk back.

Sadly the Yemeni government will be the lesser of the evils here. I really don't like the fact that Al-Qaeda is getting its head in this mess. I mean, just look what happened to Afghanistan.

Gamers don't die, they just go offline.

"...and the fanboys will unite to slay the Call of Duty threat for the greater good of gaming."

Why would Al Qaeda only want their women to stay inside? That would mean they'd get fat, unless Al Qaeda are chubby chasers.

Being a fighter pilot requires you to be an officer in most military forces (probably all).

I'm in the Navy right now as a Sonar Technician (submarine). Navy is fine, though a little crowded.

I'm aware of this. I'll put in the work.

I want to get my golden halo. My dream is to be in a HALO jump. (High Altitude Low Oxygen)

Because outdoor kitchens are expensive.

That's the way I feel. I by no means condone what the Yemeni President is doing but...I'd rather have some protesters in Yemen being beaten and shot then have a training ground for people who want to see me and my country wiped off the map.

Why not go against both? The Yemeni President is going to have to ask for help from the UN to defeat Al-Quaida. They raided an ammunition factory so they aren't going anywhere if it's just his men fighting them, and then the UN and other countries have leverage to get him to step down and put some people the protesters choose in power. The troops will already be there to fight Al-Quaida so he'll have to listen.

Your suggestion is to have an international coalition fight Al-Qaeda in a Muslim Middle Eastern country by deposing the current ruling government and support the other side in what is soon to be a civil war?

No thank you. Like I said, if the protestors clearly state and show that they are opposed to Al-Qaeda then I support intervention in Yemen like there is in Libya (although maybe not US led). If not, then the protestors cannot be trusted imo. Remember this isn't some group who has anti-American views, they have staged and will try to stage mass murders against my countrymen.

Sigh*

Looks like we gonna be in Yemen soon... Just to squash Al Qaeda.

They keep trying, yet they know we will chase them until they are a group making rants and empty threats.

The Yemeni gov't does it for us. They've been one of our strongest allies in the War on Terror. Which makes this situation a cluster -blam!-.

~~Pardon Our Dust.~~

OP, correct me if I'm wrong. Assuming this thread can be about non-Libya Arab world unrest... I didn't see any mention of the latest video spreading about Iran/Iranian Government, regarding the "Second coming of the Mahdi"? (Islamic Messiah)

It's something worth mentioning. The video/this idea "The Coming is Near" could have a huge impact on the middle east very soon.

In short: Iran (at least their leaders) believe they are going to usher in the Second Coming. (They believe they will do this by starting war, eliminating the Jews and reclaiming the holy land, and so on). They believe their current leaders are the ones mentioned in the Hadith. Apparently the video was approved by "the highest levels of the Iranian government".

I think this story is getting neglected more than it should be. This is not the same as the Christian idea of rapture. This is "72 months before the 2nd coming, leaders are supposed to clear the way for the Mahdi."

I highly recommend every one watch the 30 minute video.

Not to be all doom-and-gloom, but Hitler and many other genocidal dictators talked often about their plans, and no one listened until they actually started happening.

"History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes."
