Guest Taylor Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm hoping to go into Law Enforcement, thought about going into the US Army, and doing Engineers stuff, but I found it's really not for me. I have a few penpals in the US Army, they're awesome guys once you get to know them. Some cool stories, some sad stories, but for me, they're easy to get along with. I'm currently in the Law Enforcement explorers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I wouldn't be able to do military, (not due to requirements) because I just don't have it in me to put up with the things soldiers do from killing enemies, dealing with pushy officers, and secret lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundking Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hey, you'll find a few that actually fly planes, while being in them... And actually there are a lot more that don't fly... That used to make me laugh, the part of the forces taht is supposed to fly spends a lot of time on boats, and the ground, and the pilots are massivly out numbered by the non pilots lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jab16 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 47 lol no just kidding the exact number was somewhere above 300, but i shoot with people older than me so it makes it alot harder. I practice about once a week, I pracice with a really nice air rifle sometimes just cause it gives more time to practice, it is a $1200 rifle.

jab16 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Ok well I have always wanted to be a high/ technal rescue firefighter. One of my pations is caving so me and my buddy ( sort of like swim buddies in the seals ) were in a cave and he ended up dislocating his knee so I had to navigate the cave system to get help. He was fine though. How long would it take to get in USAR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris3281 Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 How long would it take to get in USAR?I would normally help you and offer my best guess, but in this case i honestly have no clue whatsoever lolSorry.-Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fine though. How long would it take to get in USAR?Depends on when you reprted it.Ewan (Me) = TRS Commader (IC) Which means I'm part of the Technical Rescue Services. Around here I work with one of the few USAR groups around (Hence the need for a county run search and rescue need because Virgina has tons of caves, cliffs, forests, mountains, and urban developments so it isn't rare to get a call.USAR 1's homepage is here (Virgina Task Force 1- International Urban Search And Rescue)But for all intensive purposes USAR is not TRS.

usmc123 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Not necessarily, an airstrike is CAS (Close Air Support) so that sort of thing can be done by just about every branch, as every branch has a dedicated CAS branch. Especially the Marines who use Harriers and Cobra's for support from above (among others). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
