If you heard there was going to be a draft in exactly one months time and you decided to join voluntarily, what would you do? What branch would you choose, what would you do within that branch and why?

As for me, I would probably join the the Air Force or take up a position as a sniper. The Air Force seems the most intense and exciting.

You?

ROTC stands for what? Oh, thats right, Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Which means when your done, you become an officer, and you go to war.

Actually no.  Since I'm signed with ROTC I can't be drafted since I technically am already enlisted and they can't send me anywhere until I'm out of college.

If I was eligible and everything, probably the Air Force or Navy. Generally, when there's a draft, you're getting your ass kicked.

That still means you're going there to fight and you have to do something. Smart one.

I know.  All I'm trying to say is that if (hypothetically) there was a draft in one month I wouldn't have to worry.
Some people like to make a big deal out of nothing.

Ugh... all you idiots think being a sniper is some glamorous position. Fact is none of you probably possess the patients, the skill, or the wits. 90% of a snipers job is recon which means laying perfectly still for a few days at a time. need to take a crap don't bother getting up just shit on yourself.

Canada (duel citizenship) I don't support this war.

If there was a war that my country actually NEEDED me for I'd go into the navy and be an engi. I really like the sea. But thats a bit strange for somebody who grew up in a city thats a mile high.

Not to mention the amount of clearance that goes into a shot. They have to call their commanding officers, which call their commanding officers, which finalize with the company COs, and then radio back. By the time all the clearances are set, Johnny Q. Akmed has blown himself up in a market somewhere.

Then get court marshaled for not following direct orders, get a Dishonorable Discharge, and work at McDonalds for the rest of your life. Maybe.

Why don't you just kill yourself? It would be better for the country anyways

I've never understood why snipers need to do all of that just to shoot. I figure they tend to deploy snipers to take out high-profile targets (I'm assuming the 'snipers' the media talks about in Iraq are mostly designated marksmen), but still, if they see say Kim Jong-Il in his scope shouldn't he pull the trigger ASAP?

edit: Also, if it was a war I believed in for a good cause (e.g. WWII), I'd also consider the Army as an infantry or armor crewman (19K)
