Ask me, thing1, any question. I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. Please, try to incorporate the Army into it some kind of way. If you can't, alright. Just do not get carried away. I do not want to start off my own forum on the wrong foot by disobeying the rules.

I guess I'll ask first. How long do you plan on being in the army?
And we're you excited that you were finally getting a forum?

To tack onto BluemageKyle's post, if you do die in combat (heaven forbid), is there some sort of payment to be sent to your family?
And is the money the only reason you wanted to go into the army, or do you feel a bit of patriotism motivated you as well?
Does it hurt to know some people are against the war and a lot of what the army does?

I am of the mind that I may not like us going into other countries to play peacekeeper, but I would not blame the soldiers for that, and thank them for being our protectors. It is something I wish people would do instead of hating on soldiers when they get home, or in the case of the ridiculous people at Westboro Baptist church, protest a soldier's funeral. I just hope soldiers like you and others understand that is NOT what everyone feels!

I knew someone who was in the army, but he was just a tech stationed in North or South Korea. What sort of position are you in?

BluemageKyle: well, I am not slighted to be deployed while here in Hawaii. But, if I were to deploy, I would be scared, of course. I would be scared of death. I would be scared of what would happen to my family. But I would not be scared to die for my country, and to save my comrades while I was at it.

ruesen: yes. You can select a "life insurance" of anywhere from 50k to 400k, even though it is advised that you pick 400k.  (I have 400k). 
No, money is the not the only reason I joined the Army. Sure, I needed the money to support myself, but the main reasons I joined is to follow in my father's and grandfathers footsteps, be able to pay for college, and to feel like I was actually important to somebody, and not just a tool.
No, not really. I mean, it sucks when people look at you negatively, but you do your job. 
I am stationed in Hawaii until (can not say. That is classified. Just know for a few years). I like it, but it kind of sucks at the same time.

Beastmode64 : Nuclear bombs are made through a process called "nuclear fission." Basically, an atom is split multiple times to the point where it releases an extreme amount of energy. It all ties into E=mc2 (energy equals mass times the velocity of light squared); even something as small as an atom contains enough energy to level half a continent. It's a pretty scary concept, but an intriguing one at that.

There's a lot more science involved in it of course, but that's the jist of it. I suggest researching nuclear fission if you're interested in the subject.

To remain topical: What kind of requirements do they have to join the army?

How long have you wanted to be in the army? And also, you did you get permission for this? I think you might need permission from the Globals first.

If you were only had 5 days to live, and you could do anything you wanted in the world..what would you do? Would you travel to an exotic country...see all your family? Climb Mt. Everest? Just assuming money wasn't an option

the_casualty : mainly... it depends on what you score on your ASVAB to see what MOS you get (job). And you have to be able to pass the P.T. test.
here is a link to a practice ASVAB: http://www.military.com/join-armed-forces/asvab 
And here is a link to the P.T. standards: http://www.apft-standards.com/

patar4097 : I have been in the Army for a little over 5 months now. 
Yes, I am good. I can have this. I am keeping it military related... and it is about me. Besides, this is my forum. I am staying within the rules.

Jordanv78 : I would not tell my family. I would take ALL OF THEM... all 3 sides (mom, dad, and step-mom) to Japan or Tokyo or Guam, or maybe even Rome. I can not climb Mt. Everest in 5 days dude. I think the record is more than 5 days... But no. I would spend it with my family in a exotic and touristy place, and then tell them with about 48 hours left, go home, and die at peace.

mrfe :  no, not really. I mean, in some ways, it is harder than expected... the P.T. is, mostly because of my spinal condition and how out of shape I was when I joined. But it really is not that hard. The Physical Training is probably the hardest thing for me because of my health and conditions.
My rank is an E-1 Nothing, a "fuzzy", a private, a PV1. I should be getting promoted by March though. I sure hope so... because in terms of the maximum time before promotion... I should have it in about a little over 10 days. That is when I will start getting payed as an E-2, PV2, PVT. 

Note: all the notes for the ranks are nick names or different ways we refer to them.

austipokedude: I will have been in the Army for 6 months as of the 6th of February.
pokemon9/11: 
1. Funniest thing to happen to me in the Army? I would have to say when I had to do some push ups in Basic Training because I played a joke on a guy in my platoon. Even the drill sergeants were laughing about it, so it wasn't too bad.
2. Worst thing to happen to me in the Army? I honestly do not have anything. If you had asked me a few months ago, I would have said something that happened to be in Basic Training... but looking back on it, it wasn't that bad. Probably getting yelled at for about half an hour because I shoot a different way than everybody else, and had to train myself to shoot... that would probably be it. I felt like such a worthless person at that time. But it's all good now.
3. The best thing to happen to me in the Army? Probably finding out yesterday afternoon that I am finally getting my promotion to E-2, Private tomorrow. That would definitely have to be it right now.
