Thinking of joining the reserves

I've been thinking about joining the army reserves... You only have to report in one weekend every month and 2 weeks a year, you get paid, and you can still have a normal job... I was wondering what do you think the signing bonus will be??? They say up to $10,000 for reserves but I doubt I would get that much... Any1 know the normal signing bonus?

For sure. IF you don't want to go to Iraq, I wouldn't be joining the reserves right now!

Of course it depends on what job you do in the AF Reserves dictates if you will get deployed or not. What are you thinking about doing?

Dude, the AF is different, 4 months tops right now, but since you have cousins there, I guess you know more than I do.

****ing reserves?

umm did anyoen forget to tell you there is a war going on? **** that ****. i wouldn't fight for this ****ing country....oh **** that. it takes these ****ing reserve dudes like 15 years to graduate college on the governments "tuition" plan as it is. come back with one leg from the war and see what this country has in store for you. you can get a stamped letter from the president saying you were some kind of hero fighting in vietnam the sequel.
**** the reserves. no one like a hero.especially our government
