British to US.

[KaiRai]

So I woke up this morning, and decided I hate where I live. Everything is too expensive, jobs are nowhere and the whole place just looks bleak. I want to get out of here. I've thought about moving to the US but unsure how to do this. I'd like to join the US army I guess, but I don't know anything about the policies.

So any of you currently enlisted US escapists, what's the policy on accepting your old British brothers into your army?

 

[Lt.Snuffles]

I don't think you quite realise what a wonderful place the UK is to live in. The climate is perfect however much we complain, and the services like the NHS are, dispite flaws, brilliant.
I think if you got US citizenship you would be able to join the army, however i'm not sure.

Ditto this. If you hate where you live, why not move somewhere else in the UK instead of away from everyone and everything.

Out of curiosity, what exactly to do you 'hate' about where you live?

 

[Firoth]

Um, if those are your problems with the UK, I don't think you're gonna like the US any better. Although, I guess the military is a guaranteed job.

 

[ajofflight]

I'm not even FROM the US, but you'd be better off in Canada.
:3
Seriously though, I think that if you moved out of Britain, you MIGHT regret it later.

Well, be as loyal as you can be, remember you're

I was under the impression that the United States army was infact a way to gain US Citizenship?

Hmm

Right now i doubt there is anywhere with jobs at the moment, its terrible over here.

 

[JaymesFogarty]

I digress. I can't stand hot weather; and for me there's nothing like cuddling up to a warm blanket on the sofa, downing hot chocolate and eating fish and chips while playing Bioshock, or the like. Although the military part is understandable.

That's actually crazy hearing that. There are things to dislike about Britain (same as everywhere else) but there are a lot of good things in our country that people take for granted, namely the things named above.

Besides that, why do you want to join the US army instead of the British army? Especially considering you're saying jobs are nowhere and the military is always taking healthy people.

And don't take my word for it, but becoming a U.S. citizen might prove to be difficult (though military service might get you there).

 

[steevee]

It's really not that easy to get US citizenship unless you have family over there.

Or a garunteed job, but the Army doesn't count, because you already have to be a citizen.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

NONONO!

Don't move to America, they're healthcare isn't as good as ours. The only reasons we have long waiting lists is that people don't like to give up their organs in here. If you don't linke where you live, move around the country! We have the BBC! THE BBC! DOCTOR WHO BEFORE ANYONE!

Wow, I guess I really do like muddy old Britain.

Calumon: Not alot of vending machines here though...

Actually, the British Army is scaling back recruitment. It's getting harder and harder to get in through the grunt route.

 

[Ponch]

Did you actually mean Army as in armed forces or "army" as in group of people?

 

[Mechsoap]

maybe move to Canada instead?

This is actually true. Who'd have thought that the Army has too many people?

If you move to America (love you guys, still) you can say goodbye to comfortable outdoor temperatures. If you've grown up with in the UK chances are it might be a bit hot or a bit chilly but you'll rarely be reaching for that winter coat or dying of thirst. But if you move to America (depending on where you go) you won't be used to it, meaning that half the year you'll either be freezing or boiling in winter or summer respectively. Hell, even a lot of Americans complain at the heat in the summertime.

 

[gamepopper101]

When you get down to it, you could be faced with more problems in America than in the UK. I'm not saying that's a fact but listen to other Brits to prove my point.

Lol.

OT: I'd go to Canada.
