With all this talk of the draft coming up, what exactly would you do? This is reality for us between 18-27.

They'd have to be pretty hard up to take me, as i'm a 34 y.o. who spent 11 years in the army and have the boo-boos from spending many moons on jump status to show for it. Of course, if they want a former gun bunny who's been out for over 5 years with suspect joints from too many hard PLFs (parachute landing falls) I'd go.

If I knew the draft was gonna come, Id just go ahead and enlist in the Air Force. Otherwise..Id just hope I could put my talent with computers, etc to good use, instead of being just a standard infantry man.

Yee haw I'm down to die while killing between 8902 and 10752 Iraqi civilians if I had to...

Just kidding of course. I'd rather face certain death than kill another who never bothered nor threatened me.

I had achilles tendon surgery, that just about will keep me out from volunteering as well; so I doubt they will even recruit me once they find this information out. And yes, I am a real live gimp.
