Rpm who said I was freaking out. I just think it would be a huge mistake, but like I said before, if I get called, I will go, I won't like it but I will do it.


This is not personal fear, this is fear for the greater good of the country.

I guess if they can't make up the numbers they would have to look at re-instating the draft no matter how unpopular it is. What is the draft age range? Think here it's 18-25 but not sure.

I joined the Coast Guard. My Dad served in the CG in WW2 and I wanted to follow in his footsteps. He signed the waiver and off to Boot I went.:D  
FWIW every branch accepts 17 year olds with Parental Consent.
