Rebel Hog sounds like you've seen it all! I'm not in the military so maybe one of you can answer this, how do you's hunt when you are stationed at these places/on duty. Do they give you passes? I only ask cuz I am considering joing. I wanted to go out of highschool. I am 24 now, I just graduated college, the only thing thatkeeps me is thatI have real bad allergies and don't think they would take me. A few of my friends just returned from Iraq, it was nice to see them again.

BJR, you have the right idea about college! It will be alot better in the millitary. I would consider the US Coast Guard.
Yes,after you leave boot camp, you have the week-ends free and you can request an extra couple of days leave from time to time where ever you are stationed at, it really depends on the commanding officer you have.
When I was in, there where 36 Loran stations in the Philippines manned by the USCoast Guard, but they have closed all USmillitary bases there.
I even went to Hong Kong 4 times for R&R, been to all the the battle fields in the pacific when stationed on the KuKuii, a US Coast Guard supply ship. Man, I spent 8yrs in and would do it all over again, if it was the way it used to be!
