MoonFisher answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 4:42 pm:
Of course there is a chance that he may get hurt or killed. But, there is a very good chance that this will happen every time he gets into a car and drives down the highway. As a matter of fact, there's a higher chance that he'll die in a car accident. Your concern for his safety is sweet, but you need to let your man follow his dreams and ambitions. If I were you, I would be more concerned with how long he'll be away. Boot camp, getting stationed overseas or in another state, those things will be VERY difficult for you. Talk them over with him before he makes a decision and let him know how you feel without making him feel like you are hindering him.

Yeah...unfortunately..there are chances that he can get hurt..or die.(let's not think that though)Well, it is his choice if he wants to go into the army or not. Just let him go, 'n let him know that you love him, 'n support his decision.It's hard I know...just spend as much time as you can with him before he really decides to leave. Good Luck, 'n Hope I helped!

Why are you asking us at Advicenators this question? Obviously there are hundreds of risks involved when someone wants to join the army! I don't want to go into the horrible details...

yes there is a chance that he can get hurt or he could die (god forbid) but there is nothing you can do to prevent him from going. it's his decision not yours. if he's gonna go then he's gonna go. there is nothing you or anyone else can say will change his mind. sorry hun.

FernGully answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 3:16 pm:
You don't have a choice.
Thing is, right now, there is active service in the US and a lot going on. He'll be heading off to Iraq no doubt, which is a war zone. Of course there is a chance - they don't carry guns around to look cool. He will be trained properly and will know how to handle situations but yes, there is a chance he could get hurt. You don't have a say in the matter really, because he already signed up and its somehting that he wants.

If you want I can tell you that everything is happy and sunshine and rainbows and thta walking into a war zone is code for 'Desert vacation in the Iraq Holiday Inn'. But I certainly hope you wouldn't buy that.

Of course there is a chance of him getting hurt. But you can't force him to say. He WANTS to go, don't you think it'll be selfish to make him stay back just because you want him to?
My sister is in the army, and is leaving for Iraq this January. So, deal with it. Everything'll work out fine.

Well if he's gonna go to war, then of course there is a chnace of him egtting hurt or god for bid dying. but if this is really what his heart is telling him to do, then you have to put your feelings aside and be there to support him. and prey that he gets home safely.

selectopaque answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 1:16 pm:
He's going into the army when the country is at war and your wondering if he has a chance of getting hurt? Wow...

Yes. I have a friend who came back from Afganistan. He talks about seeing people get tortured and killing people. He felt bad about things at first, but after a while it just became the thing to do. This is a nice guy telling me that he killed and tortured because "it was the thing to do". If a nice guy like my 22 year old friend could think like that, image how some war mongering individuals could think.

Now that I've said that. It's his choice, you can't stop him from going.

storageanddisposal answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 11:11 am:
It's the army. It's not the safest organization in the world, I can't possibly see how it would be not safe. He's definitely going to get hurt at least a little. But you can't make him stay if he really wants to go. He should be able to make his own decisions. It is his life, just because you're apart of it doesn't mean you're in control of it.

Well if he joins the army around this time he's gonna get sent away for sure, my friend and my cousin went into it and they were in for about a month and got sent to iraq, my cousin got to come back because she was pregnant but as for my friend he's still there and its been almost a year... talk to your boyfriend about it

There is always a chance of someone getting hurt or killed when joinging the armed forces. Whether it be the army, nave, air force, or national guard. You always have that chance. And it is the risk you have to be willing to take.

Lasag69 answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 8:47 am:
Of course when anyone goes into the army there's always a chance that they're going to be hurt. But I doubt he'll be hurt badly, like death or sumthing, maybe a few bruises n scars, but thats about it. In this day and age the army is pretty good and the warms arent all that intense anymore, and if your on the winning side it's pretty good chance you'll be totally fine. So if he wants to join the army, let him, but make sure you still see each other otherwise it could effect your relationship.
Good Luck :-)
