My point exacatly,. but for LEO's as well since I have some UK police talking about coming over too. Public service jobs correlate to military service, just saying.

SATX John

Just a counter point you your obviously superior cranium:

1) No. Try to join yourself, I doubt you qualify. Not that eays, but for most immigrating UK cits doable, and in theirinterest.

2) National Guard do xfer state to state, not an issue.

3) Doubt it, I was in Afgahistan last year you could not afford it. Nor would I want a thank you from somone exuding you tendancies. OBTW you are welcome for terrorists not killing you last year.

Just enjoy the blanket of freedom we provide, and go back to sleep.

Though until all the troops are pulled out of the hotzones, there is a inherent risk of things not going so well.

Cousin mentioned previously, she signed up to pay for college and masters, but she's now a mess psychologically. Wouldn't know it, till you hear a door slam or a car backfire. She's now in the reserves and looking at her group photo she has on FB is very sad as quite a lot of her squad didn't come back either in mind, body or soul. They weren't even a front line squad in Afghanistan.

Another cousin who was in the Rangers got out after a couple of tours, but was a couple weeks shy of meeting full requirements apparently and has had to pay back his educational bursary. He only found out when they sent him a bill a year later and he wasn't able to sign back up to make up the requirement, so he went back as a mercenary for a 6 month stint to pay the bill off.

It's not all a bed of roses....or they wouldn't have to spend such a huge chunk of cash trying to recruit people :/

Bob

But that's the thing....the military isn't doing anything to improve the terrorist threat.

Politicians are making a mountain out of a molehill and trying to justify it by pulling out the boogy man excuse.

As stated this is not political, but rying to let some GC Britons, know additional options ofr HC and career options.

US cops are already far too paramilitary for my taste. No point in encouraging more.

fatbrit

1/ You still haven't told the board why an application to the military requires specialist help.

2/ You don't understand. A military career that is a little less than sparkling, can have immigration consequences.

3/ I've already told you that I neither expect nor desire gratitude. You're the one who seems to think you're doing us a favour.


Please ask your mates not to piss on any more bodies or burn Korans and I'll sleep better at night.

SATX John

For at "FATBRIT", your tag. I am surprised you have such a disdain for this country and those that serve it. If so maybe you should redeploy. You are uninformed on so many levels.

1) I mentioned GC holders / residents.

2) So if your try and fail, you fail, wow,wwelcome to the real world. Civilian career "that is a little less than sparkling, can have immigration consequences." NSSL, PS don't beat your wife, or commit a crime.

3) You are right, I do it regardless of anyone "thanking" me. I do it by my choice for 21 years, but I honor those that do, daily.

You obviously are binded by some hate that does not allow you to appreciate those that serve you, public servants, including police, EMT, and firefighters.

BTW: What is your job, I am sure it helps lots of people right? Social worker, teacher, oh maybe professor due to your intellect etc... Doubt it. No that some of those actually help people when they need it.

When was the last time you saved someone's life? Not rhetorically?
and not "though paying your taxes."

Please

Stop begging people to thank you, it's pathetic.

SATX John

I am not asking for thanks, but the disdain for those who serve is just not "British."

fatbrit

Disdain for the country? I chose to become a citizen rather than popped out of a VJ conveniently located in the US. You really don't get more respect than that.

The thread is really not about me, so I'll not bother with the rest of your garbage.

Again, why do you need specialist guidance to pursue a career in the military?

Bob

You need to re-read the posts...then understand what is being said...this misunderstanding is not becoming of you.

kimilseung

You clearly are asking for thanks.
I thank you for helping to make the world a more dangerous place.

SultanOfSwing

What utter wank. One could argue that "serving" in the armed forces of another sovereign nation other than the UK isn't very "British" either. Notwithstanding your dubious command of English, of course.

I'm not sure why you're blowing your own trumpet over this - I got my US citizenship very easily by knobbing a beautiful woman; not travelling halfway around the world to some desert to take orders from someone else and get shot at. You're a bit of a numpty, aren't you?

Military, Police etc are not the only avenues to good benefits in the US. I've worked for 25 years in the US and 20 of those have been for either the federal or state governments. I'm now employed by a US state and will probably retire at 55 with full medical and a good pension.

On the topic of what's British......who knows or cares, but I'll give it a go anyway. IMHO the only defining characteristic of being British is having the passport and the same goes for the US too. There's no political, religious, or racial requirements or need to thank any particular group for anything if you don't think it's appropriate.
