We were issued Khaki in the Far East, the Rock Apes were issued OG's.

Why do RMP's have dogs? Because the dogs are more intelligent then the monkey.

It's highly recommended!

Yes I had someone help me dress, I was 5 years old at the time.

It is much nicer to get undressed....

It was a perk of the job.

You would have done the same if you had a batman.

That's put me right off my tea!

I suppose an American service member should chime in on this.

Yes, you do need a green card to get into the US military. With that being said, you will be severly limited on what you can do in the US military if you join with only a green card. You will not be able to get a secret or top secret clearance unless you are a citizen. This will have ramifications down the road should you join and decide to stay in. You have to be a citizen to recieve either a warrant officers or officers commission. Granted, you may be able to fast track citizenship through military service...but...you've got to get the green card first. That can be a problem.

The US military right now can literally pick the cream from within the US right now because the economy is so bad. Simply having a high school education as a foriegner is not enough. Why would it be when we have US citizens with college degrees joining the enlisted ranks? It's a cost benefit thing for the military. Why take the chance on a foriegner when there are ten overly qualified citizens in line waiting for a shot. ANY type of criminal history can disqualify you and waivers are getting really hard to come by.

Is it possible? Sure it is. If it's something you really want to do then go for it. Just don't think the grass is going to be greener on this side of the pond. I'm sure you'd have just as much to be proud of if you joined any portion of the UK military. You could definitely do worse! I've worked with your countrymen on more than a few ops and I can tell you that the Brits definitely have their **** together. Very professional and very well trained without all the Gucci gear that is thrown at us Americans. Think about it.

So, Kyle, have you decided to choose the British military instead of the US military?
