In AMERICA, you must have a minimum of a GED to enter the military...once accepted, military personnel is tested (quite extensively) and "matched" up with the most suitable job within "any" of our five (5) branches...I include reserve forces...simple really....
Read with some comprehension...Our military is VOLUNTEER...so , of course, it is a "job" with "pay" for many here... The difference between our military "branches" is job description, pretty self explanatory ...just google it!
The United States military consists of army, navy, marine corp, air force, and coast guard...It is civilian CONTROLLED and was formally established at the onset of WWII... Manpower (2nd largest in the world) is on a VOLUNTEER basis and constriction has not been used since 1972 (Vietnam)... The US spends approximately $700 billion a year to fund its' military...We possess the MOST advanced equipment and have forces "placed" throughout the world... Last year's stats (2010) revealed 1,431,000men and women on "active" duty and 850,000 in reserve...All VOLUNTEER!... In terms of manpower, the US is second only to the Peoples Liberation Army of China... TARGET AGE FOR RECRUITMENT...18 - 28 TARGET EDUCATIONAL LEVEL FOR RECRUITMENT...High school and college (Bachelor Degree Level or 4 year degree)....
Comedy - romance......It's Complicated with Meryl Streep...The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock....Tree of Life with Brad Pitt.....The Proposal with Sandra Bullock...
Taxing is good Cc...It is how the money is spent that one should question, protest, change.... To live in such a great country is a privilege...to support it a duty....
