We're a nation at war, if you don't want to deploy don't join the military, that's the reality of it.

Unless you're a Dept. of the Army civilian.

The Army is a fighting force, every MOS, job, is required to either act in a combat role or support that combat role otherwise that MOS would be eliminated.

Didn't you watch ANY of the shows about 9/11 yesterday??!!

I felt it was a pretty smart answer as well, thanks for the compliment:D

[mikeSD1986]

they probably gave "smart" answers because they know many people in many different jobs in the military who have more than likely all been deplayed or maybe even currently then someone comes and asks "is there a job where i dont have to go over there?" it touches a nerve, and no there are no jobs that guarantee that you wont get deployed but there are some jobs that may be considered less dangerous than others

[MSG Glenn]

Not to get personal because I don't know you but people on this site don't suffer fools & that was pretty foolish question, you have to admit.

I'm not knocking you but come on-don't you read the papers or watch any TV? There's a war going on & we're involved. The Navy has a good term for that - it's "an all-hands evolution".

By the way - all of the members of this site give "smart answers". If we don't know the answers to questions we don't respond.

In this war on terrorism there are even admin people going on patrols. First & foremost they're soldiers. Some will stick their neck out further than others. Special Forces, Rangers, Recon Marines, SEALs are some who do just that. Any Combat Arms soldier, mostly Infantry has a better chance of being in combat than say those who work in offices or commo or any admin joib but they're all soldiers & are needed on deployments. It's been said that it takes 100 soldiers to support one Infantryman. I don't know if I'd go that far but I hope you get my point. Nobody will send an Infantryman into combat without support whether it's food, pay, clothing, ammo, transportation, religion, artillery, air cover, on & on.

smart people give smart answers... besides you didn't say "reply yes or no"... ;) On this board you get what you don't always ask for in addition to what you may need...

Is There any job in the army that would keep u from gettin deployed ?Thats a really crazy question. Do you understand?

Just found this site today and enjoying the feedback. Fireball do get a kick out of your responses as anyone in Military, married into it, or otherwise. knows .......shipping out is pretty certain. suprising enough the desire to be part of brotherhood drives the soldiers to stand with eachother in battle or in peace. they prefer Peace but if asked to fight they do it with all they have. As an American i respect that , as a Army Wife and Army MOM along with my daughter now an "Army Wife" we fear for our loved ones but stand firm being the solid ground they can count on. So though deployment is not a time folks are jumping up and down for joy the training you work so hard to accomplish is finally going to be used. The person at home ( Wife, Husband, Girlfriend) has the hard job of staying strong while you go for weeks not hearing from them or one day you could be in contact then suddenly they are out in the field and have no idea when you will hear again. Being an Army Wife you learn to keep yourself busy. not the life for someone who can't do without their spouse. A bit of stress but again you learn to wait very well.

Not sure if you are still seeking answer but thought since read this would share a thought. Getting deplyoyed is not a problem it gives you the chance to see the world. Some places you may not want to see again.....others you may want to extend just to stay. I think they point is if you are in the Military , you have chosen a job and you train like hell to do it and do it well. You get the opportunity to use that training in all different places, if you join the Military in hope of fighting in combat you may never see it. If you join thinking you will never see combat you would hate to be wrong and in the middle of a War.

From the eyes of a Colonel's wife and mom of a PFC ,have to mention also a mother inlaw to a PFC there are many different reasons men/women join the Military. Whatever it is that brought you there, you have to work as a team, you start out with the basic training (ROTC for some) you are trained hard and retrained on what it is that is expected of you, it is not alway pleasant but it is important. I have watched a son/son inlaw go in as a boy and return as confident men. they are ready for what is asked of them because they are well trained for it. Army trains you for a job and where you do it .......wherever they need you

We're a nation at war, if you don't want to deploy don't join the military, that's the reality of it.Yep sure is. Don't join its futile and very misguided

I think desire to wait is individual and communication is key really. My husband I were apart 2yrs. He made sure he bought special cards and sent one each month and then remember special occasions too. He had flowers sent on my birthday. We sent funny pics to eachother of what was going on with our days. I also had an understanding of what was asked of me when i entered this marriage but as any relationship with my husband or Army life there is times when we disagree. Army has its rules and regulations so makes it challenging. Now my husband is retired so you figure the moving, uncertainty is over.....nah think again. He is still working for Military and travels for long trips away. We now will be moving to Germany for 3yrs. soon. I wouldn't be here if I didn't love the adventure and unexpected twists and turns being part of the Military brings. I have been lucky to travel and be part of the exciting job my husband does and glad he treats me as someone he respects enough to include in it. We share it all.

Women( too many of them:rolleyes:) get fed up of waitin around and so they start screwin around. Happened alot during WW2. Eric Clapton wouldn't be here for sure if his mother hadn't gone wayward and found some hot hot Canadian soldier and where would we be then huh, NO "Sunshine of your love" for sure :D;)
Its just life, don't be frightened of living it and don't expect her to wear a chastity belt either while your away :)

I think that's a jaded perspective. Not all Army spouses cheat and many Soldiers cheat too, it's a two way street. I see that you were burned and therefore that is where your opinion comes from (fact for you). Not everyone cheats. I know plenty of couples who are going on 15-20 years of marriage in the military.

Those women just can't keep still:)

Armygirl4ever, you got it! Diego, so sorry that you have had a bad experience. I agree not all Army wives cheat. There are many of us that stand beside our husband/wife and hold down the fort while they are gone. We do it because we LOVE them so cheating has nothing to do with Army, it is a CHARACTER flaw. My husband and I respect each other and trust each other so cheating aint happenen. Relationships, long distant or otherwise are work. I do agree that seperation for Military couples is long and difficult the frustration of not having eachother when one or both of you are stressed,hurt or angry can wear down a marriage if not addressed quickly. So you agree to disagree.......you soothe the rattled nerves when you can, you let them know they are loved each day. When you are at the end of the rope, you tie a knot and you hang on! Thats Marriage, Army or otherwise! Oh, my husband and I were friends first so we knew what would hurt each other wouldn't do anything to lose that friendship.

[Diego]

I don't understand what you mean by Jaded :confused: Jaded means lacking interest or desire because of experiencing too much of something.

I am just talking about what happens in many relationships where one half is away for extended periods, military or civilian life, its just what happens:)

Is There any job in the army that would keep u from gettin deployed ?

You can try McD's or maybe even Burger King... Put in a few good years there, and maybe you'll get promoted to cooking fry's.. I know the excitement is overwhelming

[Diego]

I have been thinking about what this and many other web sites stand for this past few months and I'm sorry to say I don't think they stand for much if anything. I have read some really great thought provoking threads and post on this site but for the last year or so......... Well the agenda is to me very clear, Stifle any valid arguements or interesting conversation with mind numbing s-hite and a complete lack of knowledge on anything outside the US mind set.
Simply put, A very diverse forum is now boring and predictable beyond belief!

Come back Kurusch!:)
