Have you been in/Are you going to join the army

[RaNkeri]

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.

2 more weeks left as a Civilian for me.

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.

[Grislygus]

Oh, yeah, it'll all simmer down in a few months.

[ArrowX]

I may hit up the reserves

Does Canada even have a Military?

[WhiteRat]

I've heard rumors that they do.

[Jeff The Ninja]

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