Anyone here been in the army?

[boomer]

ARMY with a future! hahaha, if you want to travel and like having fun travelling- then the NAVY is definately the best way to go, you will get 50x the travel you get in the other services, and paid extra for being away, but if your hardcore set on the ARMY get into it, but yes if you go ARMY you will need to get fit first (good thing about NAVY recruit course is hard but i'd say easier physically but you need to be a little bit smarter....)

a bit smarter..??!!! hahhahaha don't you mean 'gay'; everyone knows teh Navy is for shirt lifters

[NOMIS]

[Patch]

they don't let fat bastards join the ranks.

Join the navy unless you like grunting.

[FJRider]

I was in the Army, bloody brilliant years, best thing you can do ! mates skills and you get to shoot really cool BFG's !
dont wait get into it.

What he said... Quasievel wouldnt lie...the bigger the gun...the bigger the fun. You also get heaps of cam gear...

[justsomeguy]

Depends on what kind of a person you are.

I was selected for Officer Selection School in Wellington did a week long interview there at the Army base.

Not for me, can't live as a number and in a one size fits all environment. They said as much too, didn't see me as much of a team player, which is true. Then asked if I would be keen to join the fagy or ground force, nope sorry.

Also forget about having a personal life.

Grandpa was the 1st Indian CO for the state of Goa back in India. There is real respect and honour and you live like a king - (servants, everyman -his dog-and the fleas on its back jump to attention, 5-star levels of food and accomodation, etc). But all that is earned - not given, got by chance, stolen, won, etc as it is in the private sector.

If you're keen get training - they don't call them "fighting fit" for nothing.

[shafty]

If you join the ARMY Territorials, may I suggest the position of Driver. No need for a HT licence for a start - they will train you for that, my 5 years as a "Cut Lunch Commando" incudes the memory of lying under my truck in the shade at 6 Cross (the original site of the Cold Kiwi) discreetly sipping a beer while all the Grunts double marched past toting packs.................

[James Deuce]

Infantry eh? I worked for the Army and Defence for a while and having been "integrated" and handed a brevet rank vastly above reason for the purpose of testing a variety of field data comms gear I could suggest that there are vastly more career options available to you.

You won't like this bit.

Women have less upper body strength than men.

If you want to succeed in an application to lugging 60kgs of gear over rough terrain for a living then you need to hit the weights hard.

Dont call it a gun , its a weapon or rifle . that normaly gets u a boot up the ass or ur squad will do push ups while u count them out and laugh between each one.

[portokiwi]

Yes I was in the Army for a long time, TF first then RF. I loved it.....That could be why I am who I am who I thought I am?????
Its not everyones cup of tea. If you like working in a team enviroment this could be for you.
Go to the recrutement office and ask they will help you with all the services.
They are allways looking for people to go to Afghanistan, Iraq, East timor and other exciting places.
You keep fit get decent food nice accomidation and ok pay. What more could you ask for lol.
