Have you ever been invited to officers’ club? As for me, I have. It happened a few years ago. My brother's schoolmate had become an officer and I was invited to visit the club. I used online Macys coupon codes and purchased nice clothing for wearing to the party. This brave guy had invited us to follow him to meet his military friends. Since that day I got some idea of this prestigious social group - the United States officer corps. Those persons who were not officers weren't allowed to enter the club. So everybody went to have a cup of coffee at my brother's. My brother likes to use online Overstock coupon codes to get some practical things for his club. We talked a lot and I knew a lot of interesting facts. I am impressed of being an officers' friend. Becoming a member of the army is not easy, especially now when, as the reduction of armed forces are becoming increasingly important training and personal qualities of the candidate to become an officer play an important role. There are several options for choosing this career. The ideal way is considered to enter one of the military academies: Army at West Point, Air Force in Colorado Springs and naval at Annapolis. U.S. citizens of both sexes aged 17 to 22 years old, politically trustworthy, physically healthy and unmarried may become candidates of each of the military academies. The candidate has to get and present the recommendation of Congressman, Senator or Governor of the state. Applicants have to pass rigorous medical tests and competitive examinations. Those who successfully pass these tests, sign a contract to serve at least 6 years in the regular army and two years in reserve after the release of the academy.
