Id join up for the RAF without hesitation. Ive grown up interested in the military, and have already fired numerous weapons, and logged flight time.

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.
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.
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)
It's a fucked up world, to be honest. But if a target is shooting at you, its the Rules of Engagement. If they aren't, but they might, then clearance is a lot easier. If it an unarmed priority target, you go through a stage of confirmation before the shot can be taken.

Ok. Reminds me of Black Hawk Down, when they were on the ground with tons of Somalis rushing at them and they weren't allowed to shoot until they were shot at... thanks for the info.

Tactician*, and you can't just go to your recruiter and say "I'd like to enlist in WAR COLLEGE!!!!", you have to be in the military, more than likely be an officer, and have to go through BCT and all that fun stuff first.

No need to apologize man! Although you are probably gonna get some flak for saying 'worthless recruit'... that's your own argument to fight

Army Signal Corps for me.

I'm also in ROTC, so a draft won't affect me until I commission and have to deal with draftee soldiers that don't want to be there in the first place.  Happy fun times.

This reminds me of something that they did in the military a few years ago. Since most of the guys did not want to go and do their military service they would make up excuses while talking to the psychiatrist. One such thing would be that they were gay. No worry they would send them to the Navy on an Island. One of my friends he got out by asking if Friendly fire was on "like in CS"

I would laugh at all you fucks for finally having to put up with the bullshit everyone else puts up with in the military.

Then I would smoke you, since if there is a draft, chances are, Ill be promoted really fast.

Air force?

If you didn't have to be such an ignorant dickwad I'd totally go for the air force.. I've always wanted to fly jets.  But, something about flying above the enemy and killing people I'll never have to see the face of kinda doesn't work for me.

Canada for me... if i don't get an exemption because I'm going to college..

You guys should just do that now. We don't want you in our country if you're going to think like that and not do something when you're needed. Fighting is the price you pay for living in this country.

I choose Navy or CG, but wherever they put me is fine...
