NO. do i understand the need for the control? yes.
if you look into the UCMJ (uniform code of military justice), military law in other words, it actually says the only way we can have sex is missionary position. they do regulate what we do a lot.
and don't complain about the military not being "allowed" to drift. by them not drifting that means that soldier marine sailor or airman is still alive and you aren't being asked to take his or her place.
none of this is mentioning the underlining fact that this is an all voluntary military. that means every service member voluntarily signed a paper saying they would serve this country and that they would listen to the officers appointed over them. that means if an officer tells you not to drift then you can't drift. that means if an officer tells you to march your happy little a$$ into combat that's what you're going to do. you don't ask questions.
isn't drifting illegal anyways? last time i checked it's considered wreckless driving. so what's the difference between the cops telling you that you can't do it and the military telling me i can't do it?

about ucmj and sex.. what i do behind closed doors or in my commanding officers office is none of his business i'm not hurting anyone .unless she liked it hehe
who has died drifting? maybe someone has .. but i havent heard about it yet..
this is a volunteer army .. but it would be nice if the army didnt try to sugar coat the entire thing when trying to get ppl in.. they dont tell you things straight up at the recruiters your drill sgt's are on a power trip. and by the time you get to ait and your learning how the army works in reality you cant wait to get out
so for this volunteer army everyone should know that you'll spend lots of time picking up trash buffing floors and shining and startching your uniform.. oh did i mention none of that makes you combat effective in any way shape or form.. plus you have to buy new uniforms before you go to combat b/c startch and kiwi in large amounts restricts airflow..
oh drifting isnt illegal if you do it on the track.. and the military doesnt want you to drift period whether your doing it legally or not.. they dont want you to do it .
BAM military sucks

sorry went through twice..
btw i'm not anti military.. i just dont think they should have that much control over your life.. men and women have already signed their life away what more should they give

yea, i haven't heard much about death tolls dues to drifting other than kids on the touge flying off cliffsides. but i did see a drift video of a guy in his bmw step out of his car while doing donuts and running himself over to death. but c'mon, just don't hit the touge, and don't run yourself over.
and if it is your own business what you do behind closed doors, they should have closed door drift events? haha that'd be cool if it dint sound so hard to pull off. maybe a compound structure?

it's called recruiting. let's think about this for a minute. the average age of people who are into drifting, racing, or fixing up their car i would say is 17-28. you can join the military between the ages of 18 and 26. if you were looking for people between ages 18 and 26 don't you think that's a good place to look? they might not condone it but they will go there and try to feed you some crap to get you to join the military. i almost garantee the best line they could use there would be "if you join the military then we pay all your bills so you can spend your intire paycheck on your car if you want."

Yeah, many jobs pay alot of money of have you trained nad they still don't control your life. Kuods to the people who protect this country and what we stand for. But if you agree with what they do and believe that the government should control outside activites not pretaining to work then go to North Korea and give your freedoms up there.
Control =
