any body thinkin of joining U.S force?i heard if u get in u get all ur paperworks n nice retirement plan & easy to get jobs later on... i.e that is if u live till then... smokeeeeeeeeeeeee... do they test ur piss n all ..before u get in for drugs n sh#t

I am in service too but in different branch. They will check your everything. Life is not that easy in military but it's ain't that hard either. You have to sacrifice too manythings; separation from family and friends, boot camp, trainings and have to deal with so many things. For me, it's ain't that bad and I have been doing pretty good. There are only few Nepalese in US Military. It's a big challange. You have to stay for 20 years (every step is challanging) to get retirement and pay is not good at first but it's ain't that bad either. Contact your local recuriter of all branches of military for more information. They will help you. Good Luck!

Fk nooo...

if u wanna die then sure!!

GO TO IRAQ... Boiz and Grlzz

Pse

I will die.. i think..

HELL NOOOOOOOOOOO 4 m3

o my cousin is a us army!!!!!!!! he looks so hot on that oufit!! Oh no i dont have crush on him, hes like my brotherr. i think people in navy, police look good on their uniforms..

haha i hope it ain't like south park where like the black shield instead we have the international american shield. dying isn't worth it for me, atleast it;s not good enough of a reason enough for me, a pacifist by heart and a sissy by nature violence doesn't come naturally to me but i manage by laughing at the fools fighting the wrong war, but i'm me and those were my thoughts why would it apply to anyone.

Dude,
where are you living? We protect you guys so that you all can sleep well at night and enjoy your freedom. Nobody's like to die and go to war but gotta do is gotta do. Everybody's want their love ones close to them all and live happily life. You know why this country is great, coz' we got the finest military in the world and we are professional. It's not RNA. Military is not war and Iraq only but it's also peace and protection. Don't make fun of those guys who are serving you and protecting you. Yo all have a good one and god bless you

don't you have to be us citizen or perm resident to join the us army? i always thought so.

i wanna get into Navy too.. tight hot skirts..hell no the bootcamp suks!

I know some of them in California. I am going to reserve after 2 years. I am gonna do only first term coz' my gf is killing me. You could email me. I also wanna know how many nepalese are in US military.

Birbhadra,
No you don't..see this country wants to kick the "Illegals" out on the one hand but on
the other they have a "fast track" program for children of illegal parents who can join the ROTC/army and can get Permanent Resident status after serving a couple of years in the army...there's a reason the massive recruiting drive by the army is currently taking places in largely African-American/Immigrant communities.
Refer to the thread on immigration in Samudaya (I think you posted on that as well)
`"Kripalu"

Phatte and the rest of you Nepalese in the U.S Army--Good luck..and please try and stay safe! :-) I know it's a difficult life and the stress is horrendous.

Thanks Nepali bro. To join Military you must be permanent resident. yeah you can get citizenship just like that.

Phatte bro.. i emailed u thru sajha.. hope to hear from u soon.. peace..

i am confused so why don't all the mexicans try to join the military? there are so many illegal children here. is there a age limit or what ? or do they have to be legal and only their parents illegal. please calrify. i have a lot of mexican friends who are illegal or have illegal cousins attending high school. they are basically can't do anything after they graduate high school

They should be at least Permanent Resident and they do check the backgrounds, drug test, medical and all kind of stuff. It's ain't that easy.

Birbhadra,

The children of illegal parents are eligible to enlist in the armed forces but as Phatte said, there are a bunch of hoops that they have to go through: Physical, Criminal and Background checks being the major part. There are a whole bunch of disqualification factors that range from former gang membership to too many tattoos (although I believe the army is willing to relax their requirements on the number of "body art" allowed for recruits to replenish the ranks)

I don't know what the current state of affairs is but the DREAM Act which was tabled a while back was geared towards the children of illegal or legal status pending parents. What the act allowed was for children who had grwon up and completed high school in the U.S and possessed "good moral character" were pout on a fast track to Permanent Residency if they completed a certain number of years in Military Service i.e. those enlisting did not have to be Permanent Residents as long as they met the listed criteria:

Anybody thinking about joining Royal Nepal Army or People's Liberation Army (Maoist) ?

Really do you mean i can join the army. i am a full time f1 student. so you mean i can join the us army.
i don't mind joining cause i am son of Gurkha. all my relatives are in UK army or S'pore Police. Even all my friends joined the Uk army. I knew some of them are staioned in Iraq.
I grew up in Gurkha camp and so used to military rules and lifestyles.

going to iraq would be adventure for me dudes. not afraid of dying. why should i.
Cause sooner or later we all gonna die anyway. it's matter of how you live.


i wished i could join the US army. I would definetely apply. But i don't have green card yet. I can surely fit into SEALS ,Green Beret or the Army Rangers cause my blood is of GURKHAS.

Bornfree
Why not join People's Liberation Army (Maoist)...Prachanda will be more than happy to send you to some adventurous missions...like attacking RNA barracks in Ktm.
