Indeed

So what the army has big poker games but if you look at general order #1 it's prohibited and I'm sure an officer who get's a file on a soldier with a gambling problem is going to make sure he's not playing in those games. (Officer games) Most of the degens here would be stripers

So take yer gimmick account and take a hike

You can't site big poker games with other degenerates as a benefit to signing up if you have a gambling problem, and then say you wont be allowed to play if you have a gambling problem.

It was this statement reagrding the possiblity of gambling with other degenerates that made the original post appear like a desperate attempt to exploit and recruit the vulnerable

The army is no place for people with serious psychological problems or suicidal tendancies and your attempt to recruit such people, although im sure well meaning, is misguided.

Alternatives measures, in no particular order:

1. self imposed ban from all online and B&M gambling establishments (and disposal of computer)
2. gamblers annonymous
3. one to one therapy
4. prescribed drugs
5. support from family and friends
6. new career direction
7. entrust finances with family or friends
8. forming of new realtionships away from the world of gambling
9. improved diet
10. excercise
11. self help programmes
12. New hobbies and interests that instill self discipline and confidence as well as army (martial art?)

Im sure the above will be dismissed as pathetic but they would provide much more support, security, motivation, confidence and long term results than joining the army, which may help the problem temprarily but without addressing the underlying issues the problems would resurface.

It's about time someone posted some help for these people. Nice post

Ok forget my OP for a second. If the alternative was to join the airforce where you know they gonna get the diet and exersise and not go to Iraq would that be a better solution. The Airforce has the best of everything including lobster [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Joining Airforce or Navy or Coast guard would provide 90 percent of your solutions. Better alternative ?
