I should've posted this last month because to me it was more topical back then, but oh well.

I'm not going to join the army, although all my childhood I had the idea of joining it(mostly because of the action movies I saw as a kid). But because of my diabetes my conscription rank is "B" which means I can't accomplish the regular army. This led into decission of using plan-b, a.k.a changing my conscription rank into "D" a.k.a "released from conscription", which is possible for me, thanks to my diabetes.

What about you guys? :o

I joined the Air Force a year and a half ago and everything is ay okay. I get to live in Japan for 2 years so I guess I really don't have too many complaints. Plus, my job isn't too bad either.

I almost got conscripted to the Austrian army, but luckily I became an English citizen before I was old enough. In some ways I would have liked to have done it as it would have been a helloava' good conversation point not to mention a very interesting experience but it's probably for the best I didn't.

I used to get calls from the army recruiter all the time back in the day. Then one day, I got another call and he started asking me questions about achieving my potential and such, and I just gave him a bunch of tired, listless answers. After that, no more calls.

I'm 25 so I'm a little old to be gallavanting across the globe as a soldier. My father and oldest brother both served in the Navy, and they both say it's for the best that the other 3 boys never went into the service. My brother has never been quite the same after serving in the First Gulf War.

This is basically my story too.

My friend joined the army. He's in Maryland.

That's about as interesting as it's gotten so far.

I was gonna join the Canadian forces when I was 18 but with the current heating up around the world I'm just gonna hold off for a few months.

We do. Somewhat. We have some of the best trained Sharpshooters, pilots in the world but no Funding to back them up.
