Is joining the military a good idea?
The benefits of joining the military are myriad. You will receive job training that will last you for the rest of your life. You will have the opportunity to make friends for a lifetime. You will have the chance to take part in military activities that most Americans cannot conceive of.And all the while, you will be fed, housed, clothed and educated by your branch of the United States Armed Forces. And you will even be given the chance to obtain a college education!You will be in line for promotions and may be given command or charge for a basic unit, supervising and learning to manage successively larger numbers of your brothers and sisters in arms.The benefits package is all encompassing and it includes full medical, dental, optical care, and housing and special duty payments, depending. On yourservice anniversaries you will be considered for length of duty awards, and also for “good conduct” awards. Promotions in grade along with a raise in pay are also available in some deserving cases.What's more, if you take the necessary tests and do well enough, also taking the necessary college courses you may be given the opportunity to go to Officers' Candidate School. Many fine officers in our Armed Forces started out as enlisted personnel, and have even achieved 4 star rank!An enlisted person at the pay grade of E9 (Sergeant Major) can make over 100k per year based upon their time in grade and length of service. That's a really good salary, and at the end of a twenty or even a thirty year career, that’s a truly wonderful retirement! And just think; your retirement pay at 20 years is at 50% of your current salary!And your medical benefits are lifelong; so are your spouse's. All in all, there are a load of good reasons to join the military. Good luck in your decision.

HOW COME AFRICAN AMERICAN ARe NOT IN THE PRO fishing?
I have a great friend who fishes the FLW tour and does quite well. In following his career, I see more and more African American fishermen on the tour. There is definitely no prejudice to keep people out of the action. I know that each angler has to prove themselves worthy of fishing at the top levels of competition. Check out www.flwoutdoors.com for more information. Also, if you visit the site tomorrow late afternoon, they will be having a live weigh in. Just look for the FLW LIVE is on now link, and follow the weigh in at the tournament on Detroit river. You will see for yourself just how many African Americans (as well as Japanese, Korean, and Hispanics) are fishing the circuit.
What is the best city to live in surrounding Houston?
My fiance works for an oil company based in Houston; right now he lives and works for that same company in Odessa, where I do not want to start a family and make our life. He wants to transfer to the Houston division, but we want to live in one of the smaller surrounding cities with low crime and good neighborhoods and school districts to raise a family in - what are the best cities to do this in?

Fishing: At what age did you start fishing alone?
I wonder what other people do. I think the first time I went alone was when I was 13. Im still not really aloud to go unless my dads home and my moms out somewhere. In which case I just ride one of my dirtbikes/quads down the grass...yes not road thats illegal I had to get permission from every neighbor. So that leads to me asking how did you get there? Also since I will be getting my license in about 2 years or actually less how much did you start fishing when you could drive? I hope when I finally can drive I will be fishing every single day since my secret spot is on the way home from school. Hopefully that spot doesnt get fished out again.
Pregnant but no family support?
I'm 18, 19 in a couple weeks and I just found out that I am a couple weeks pregnant with my boyfriend of two years. The pregnancy was unexpected, and a complete shock since my boyfriend and I had always used multiple protection when we had sex. However, these things happen and as shaken up as I am over it, I know I need to take responsibility. My boyfriend was upset and scared when I told him, but now he is constantly telling me everything will be ok. He's the only supportive figure I have right now in this situation. My parents (who are divorced) both disowned me when I told them. My mom told me I deserve the worst for getting myself in to this situation and that I'll never have a future and end up being a single parent. My dad called me a sl*t and says he will never provide anything to help me with this child. I don't expect anything, not money, not gifts, not a single thing from my parents. All I want is support and for them to be part of my childs life. I am a responsible young adult. I have my own apartment and a very good paying job. I know it is going to be difficult, but I am in no way going into this not knowing that it is work. I just can't push myself to get an abortion or give my child up. I would never forgive myself. Everyone around me is trying to get me to get rid of the baby. It's so much pressure and I don't understand why my personal choice can't be respected by the people I love. Can I have a little advice? guidance? Anything, I'm just very heartbroken over the way things are. Will they get better? Thank you very much.
