Civilian Child vs Military Child

[Lifting_Taurus]

Some real good points in this.. FIgured I'd post it here...


1. A Civilian child usually dances around or talks during the National Anthem. A military child stands quietly with his hand over his heart.

2. A civilian child sees race. A military child sees diversity.

3. A civilian child has a best friend in his hometown. A military child has a best friend on almost every continent.

4. A civilian child sees only the plane flying over. A military child not only can identify the type of plane flying but knows someone who works on them.

5. A civilian child smells something nasty and yells "eeewwww, what's that smell?". A military child smells something nasty and yells "M.O.P.P. 4! M.O.P.P. 4!!"

6. A civilian child sees a person in uniform. A military child can tell you what branch he's in and what his rank is.

7. A civilian child thinks home is where the heart is. A military child knows home is where the military sends you.

8. A civilian child lives for tomorrow and what it might bring. A military child lives for today for tomorrow Daddy might get called away again.

9. A civilian child gets to kiss mommy and daddy goodnight each night. A military child sometimes has to kiss a picture of daddy or mommy goodnight.

10. A civilian child talks on the phone for fun. A military child lives for the 15 minute phone calls once a week.

11. A civilian child can read and write in English. A military child can read and write in acronym.

12. A civilian child says "good-bye". A military child says "see you later".

13. A civilian child gets to see things other kids would love to see. A military child gets to see things world leaders would love to see.

14. A civilian child will probably go to the same school his entire life. A military child will probably change schools every 2 years.

15. A civilian child might rarely leave his hometown for anything other than vacation. A military child will rarely see his "hometown" for anything other than vacation.

16. And finally...a civilian child supports our soldiers. A military child is a soldier.



The next time you say a prayer for our troops, please say a prayer for their families, especially their children back home that are trying to be strong. If you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them. Repost as "Military kids vs. Civi kids"

how am i a troll ?

for having a valid opinion about the type of people that are in the military?

I worked for a year as a contractor on a airforce base here I can say with out a doubt the majority of the enlisted people i dealt with were very un-educated and not heros.

[muirsy88]

So what? They're better than civy kids? I don't give a fiddlers fcuk. It's cool, honourable and admirable but i'm not gonna polish someones nut sack because they're in the military.

[sartreroquentin]

its all a personal choice it doesnt make you more better of a person or lesser of a person

i am quite frankly tired of this whole civilian to armed forces inferirioty/superiority complex.

Exactly...its a job. joining the military doesnt make you special or honorable - its a job.

If they were going with out pay when they got deployed then i would call them heros. But with all the benifits for their familys, more money, etc that they are given they are far from being hero's.

Are you in the military?

Cause if it weren't for us "glorified worthless un-employed americans" you'd probably be shot for what you said.

So you keep be selfish and not appreciate your freedom of speech that our "boys" yes "boys" are over there every day getting shot at everysingle day, and possibly worse not comming home...

OR

you can grow a pair of freakin balls and enlist in the army/marine corps and go over to support your freedom of speech that you take for granted.


Until then... shut your fat mouth

You worked as a contractor on an Airforce base for one year and that makes you an expert on personnel in the military.

First, I'd like to point out your limited exposure to the variety of personnel in the Armed Forces of which the Air Force is a small part.
Second, I know damn well that the contractors only have contact with a small number of personnel, usually just the one's they work with.
Third, a majority of the 'worthless un-employable' personnel have more of an education that the average individual and have job experience to boot.

The only one's I've ever seen exacerbate this issue is the civilians with a complex issue.
Those who've been and done their part usually don't make an issue of it.

[muirsy88]

What if you can check of 90% of that list and have never been a military kid?

1st - I worked at the largest MRO facility in the US. I was a business redesign analyst there. I had interaction with hundreds of military members.

2nd see above.

3rd - No they dont.

[sartreroquentin]

look no government drew your card to force you to enlist or to serve overseas.

if you think youre so much more honorable/a better person for enlisting or serving then you seriously have some insecurities with yourself.

Then why make a post comparing military kids and civy kids? Pretty pointless if you ask me and just leads to ignorant comments and dead-end arguments.
