Any other military in here? 12 years service, The Yorkshire Regiment, British Army. Came out on the 10th of March this year. All you not in the military, why the fuck not?

I have a real job

We're educated and we've got at least half a brain.

No you don't, you're a pussy.
I guarantee I have more qualifications than you

i was thrown off the program cus i have ADD. and the Danish army didn't take people with this disability because of some accidents.

Ah that sucks, dude! I was lucky and was never diagnosed. Fairly sure I have it though

>qualifications
>military

Pick one

I applied when I was in university, did my physical and mental examinations, they asked for references and I sent them 5-6 in the mail. 4 months later I get my letter back, and apparently it never got there. I figured after 4 months I'm pretty fucked and I didn't know how to get around to explaining it, or who to even explain it to.

Now I'm working carpentry and steel construction and I'm moving to Jamaica in January to live a homestead life.

Not sure I can buy the indoctrination and utter love for country that comes with it, generally speaking. Or that's at least sold in boot camp/basic training/whatever.

Norwigian compulsory military service, of the combat squadron here.

Move to Canada. My friend has ADD and takes prescription drugs for it. Not sure if Ritalin or adderall, but he was with them for 4 years.

it was my dream job since i was a kid, and they robbed me the chance. i have fallen in and out of educations and are finally close to completing something..
What i really should have done was move to the US or something, but then i wouldn't be the same, because it wouldn't be my country..

Got most of them before I went in, 14 GCSEs, 2 AS levels, then while I was in got Key Skills Maths, Science, English, Parachute Instructor qualifications

i know, or the US. any country almost would greet me with open arms if i say i wanted to be a soldier in their army... but it wouldn't have been my motherland i was fighting for.

Nice! I can't imagine National Service!
It's not really like that here. More of a regiment pride thing
What happened if you don't mind me asking?

I'm trying to get through college. If that falls through, I'm enlisting. Hell, I may enlist anyway after college, just to get some discipline and experience.

>military
>Posts pic of fictional super hero
>Delusional faggot

Eh, anyway, I'm through college now and have a career I don't want to put on hold.

Fuck yea. Was in Iraq for quite some time, shit was cash. Now moved to Europe from US of A and enjoying easy life. Man, do they get it easy in Europe compared to USA.

imperialist scum

Delusional how?
Fair enough
US sandies are dog shit though compared to ours

nothing happend to me, other than i developed a slight alcohol problem after rejection. But there was a indecent in the danish army that got most publicity, where a guy with ADD was cleaning a gun mounted to a jeep, and it went off, and cleaned another soldiers head of hes shoulders.. It was loaded, stupid individuals like that ruind it for the rest of us.

Speaks volumes about the Danes that they clean their weapons loaded to be fair...

Because my country actually goes to war. You stay on base and do chores. Thanks for that. Woops, today is memorial day and you're not dead. Does dead inside count? :^)

Fucking elitist Britbongs pretending they're still important to the world around them. How sad. When was the last thing you've done anything? I mean, aside for taking the piss outta someone for not being from the UK? Seriously, if being born in a region of the world is what makes you so prideful, it makes me wonder why you think the US is stupid, when they're smart enough to admit that their country isn't perfect. If anything, Europoors come off as more delusional than any America flag-wearing redneck and that's downright pathetic.

I think that it would be awesome but I'm not going to rusk my life so that old rich white guys can get richer or play "who has the bigger dick". Plus why fight for a country that still thinks of you as inferior? I'm not going to be a pawn. No offense to soldiers I actually respect you and know that you think of it as a duty or honor but how things are now I don't see it as that. Fuck the politicians.

18 b USA

is it known that danes do this?
is it too late to join the army at 25?

Sorry mate I haven't done 2 tours of Iraq, 2 tours of Afghanistan and Active Duty in Kosovo at all...

>Delusional how?
You think you're some hero for enlisting in he military in this day and age.
All that says about you is you want to get a free ride from the government.
You're not a hero, you've never done anything heroic. Real heroes weren't sitting at base in Iraq while drones drop bombs on towel heads. Real heroes dont compare themselves to captain America, and real heroes don't Pat themselves on the back for doing their fucking jobs. This generation of millennial military are pathetic.

my country is not at war. pussy.

They wont take me, my left hand is fucked, shit sucks

>implying you've seen combat
Kek do you have over 300 confirmed kills with just your bear hands too??

No it's not. Lad in my training platoon was 32. If that story is anything to go by, yes it is
I don't think that I'm a hero at all. But I sure as hell don't sit in a base in Iraq like a fucking REMF. I'm fucking frontline, sandbag ans proud. Fucking pussy.

said the man, as he unpaused hes call of duty, shouting for hes mother to buy more Doritos on her way to the mall.

If you were really in the military, you would know why the fuck not. Or maybe the British army is far enough away that it isn't pure hell.

USN here, regretting every minute of it. Damn 6 year contract.

>Sorry
>I haven't
Canadian confirmed.

I'm actually enlisting soon, I took my ASVAB and am now awaiting a waiver to pass before I'm able to go to MEPS. :) U.S. Army btw

Not yet. Give it until November.
lmao no but I have seen combat

British. You can tell from the sarcasm

Most countries are not at war and modern war doesn't hold much risk if you are from Amurrica, so military careers can be quite nice IF you choose both service and specialty with care.

Choose wisely, retire youngish, never have to work again and surf Sup Forums forever.

Good on you mate
I know a lot of guys that feel the same over here to be fair. It's all bullshit and polish. And lies. Lots of lies. And fuck the RMP. 4 year contract over here

Fuck the military.

You fags and your stolen valor bullshit. You wouldn't have to worry about people stealing your valor if you didn't have some expectation of a fucking handout just for showing up to your fucking job.

"I served, I deserve servicemans discount!"

Fuck you. You know what you deserve? Being shown the fucking door when you apply for a job. Undertrained, stiff and totally useless. in the private sector, always acting like it should be run like the military, because it's the pinnacle of efficiency? An entire organization full of niggers, spics hillbillies and retards who couldn't hack it in the real world, so they joined the one organization that wouldn't turn them away.

How honorable.

But you protect us, right? You're fighting for our freedums! And failing to achieve victory in every war since WWII. Way to go. Mission accomplished! You get a participation trophy!

Idiots.

>USN here, regretting every minute of it. Damn 6 year contract.

What job? Ya ought to get shore duty at some tasty NATO base like Rota. There are many ways to serve.

physically unable.

I'm on the way to a $96k a year science job (a real job) and I don't take pride in killing my fellow man. Have a nice day wasting your life following orders.

JAYSUS KROIST! Join the Air Force instead. Most of your career will be spent in peacetime. If you can't score high enough for AF, at least try for a decent career field rather than bullet sponge.

Turn back now. Quickly.

Wait, never mind, you need an ASVAB-based waiver. You'll fit right in and enjoy it.

Valor thief alert. We definitely aren't undertrained and we definitely aren't useless. Just because we, with "no qualifications", can do your job better than you can, doesn't mean that we shouldn't get a fucking job. I left a £22,000 a year job at 17 years old to join and go down to what was at the time just over £1000 a month.

USN vet
Five years active
Seven deployments
60% rating

I've got my t shirt

I dont plan on getting an infantry job, And my overall % score was 57 on the ASVAB.

I also have tried to join the AF but I have a DUI on my record and it was just more of a pain in the ass.

Why would I turn back on an opportunity such as serving my country?

Let the butthurt flow through you.

Fair.
Faggot.

>science job (a real job)

Have you ever operated a nuclear reactor?

No?

Then you don't know a damn thing about my job or whether its useless experience for civilian applications.

"Knock Knock"
[who's there]
"Not this drain on society, anymore"

Nuke electrician.

Our shore duty is pretty much "You go be an instructor in a moored boat until they kick you back out to the fleet."

I'm guessing you're a spoilt little bitch, or you're bait. You tried.

Because engineering

I love sleeping with wives of military men. So easy to get in their pants especially the ones with husbands over seas.

Yeah. Huge job opportunities in the private sector for that.

I'm sure you'll be applying to Bear Sterns for their Nuclear Engineer Position.

Or, more likely, you'll go to one of the boonie shitholes where they let people build reactors, promise to suck dick before ultimately being rejected because there are no more positions, spend a couple years drinking, beating your white trash girlfriend, lose your trailer, and finally end up like every other veteran: Holding a cardboard sign that says "Veteran. Please help. God Bless" and shaking a beat-up starbucks cup at me on my way to work.

No shit. When man is fighting overseas, pusdies that stay back comfort each other.

Yeah, USAF are more anal about morality waivers.

Career NCO here who never confused serving Wall Street with serving the rest of Americans, but the .mil world can be a very good job.

Hang for at least 20 for that beautiful check, and if you pull a few extra years for the pay bumps you may never have to work again. I paid off my bills and house (BAH GTW!) and work when I find something entertaining.

Ignore peer advice while noob, seek out smart NCOs who want to mentor young troops. Emphasize you are in it for a career.

BTW it's common for other branches to change services after their initial enlistment. Only ones I've never seen in AF are Coast Guard.

There is a lot to learn besides what they teach you. If not decided, medical fields have best outside futures. Aviation maintenance is great if you are a gearhead. (Always work on VALUABLE high tech systems, and do NOT volunteer for anything in transportation or law enforcement except possibly OSI.)

Have fun. Be smart. Avoid stupid motherfuckers. They will drag you down.

So you can only get with girls at their loneliest and most emotionally vulnerable?

>implying there has been anything worth fighting for in the last 100 years

I applied back in Jan, main board at the end of the month. Any advice? I'm not a cunt

lol you fought for you country to be taken over by sandniggers. whatever happened to protecting the country from ALL threats, foreign and domestic. you're just a welfare recipient that actually might have to do something for your check once in a while (like die where they tell you to)

You should be set for a civilian career. BTW six years is damn near 1/3rd the way to retirement. Soak up more schooling and retire grossly overqualified, then do what you want since no have to work.

No matter how annoying the .mil world may seem at times, it all goes away at retirement but the money is for life.

I'd like to thank all those in the military for their service. Cheers.

I fully support men in military. Sometimes I like to dress as one too just to get discounts at mall and let people pay my dinner for me. Without them this wouldn't be possible so keep up the good work!

I was a soldier like you once. Then I took an arrow to the knee.

Stop acting like you are so fucking great, Military is just another fucking job nigger

I'm sure he can, but why go hunting for your dinner when there's a taco bell next door?

Servicemen always choose the lowest common denominator when it comes to women. You always hear the stories about their boyfriends, off sitting on their ass picking their nose in some arab shithole...i mean proudly serving our country..and their girlfriends are fucking multiple guys the moment he's on the plane.

Because not even cheap whores can respect a serviceman. The people they disserve back home certainly don't. But boy will you dipshits bitch and moan about it if you don't get free stuff.

You're worse than niggers.

Thanks for the advice. I plan on getting a job in the 19 series (19M specifically). I've made it clear to the CO in my area that I plan on making the military my career. And all the SGT's that I've worked with all have been very helpful with me and getting everything moving.

Thank you for your advice, I'll keep it all at mind.

They won't let me join the military because of my psychosis. I want to feel alive.

Don't jack on your muckers and you'll be fucking sound. Training is a lot of bullshit and the whole career is a lot of lies. I'll clear up some of it here for you. You will go on exercise a lot, even at battalion, you will spend every friday cleaning your weapon.
You're a pussy
Much thanks, man
You're a faggot
What's your job? Also I'm white?
I've never complained about not getting a discount, I rarely ever used my discount and I don't know many people that did. Also I'm married with 2 kids that look just like me so there's that for you.

Said the edgy 12 year old.

You don't even troll well. Power plant techs don't grow on trees and they can make serious cash. Fun fact is you can transfer nuke plant skills to conventional. Steam turbines don't care where their steam comes from.

You seem full of amusing young cunty anger. It won't offend G.I.s as we are used to levels of woofing at work which dwarf your plebshit. (It passes time on deployments.)

Try harder.

BTW America adores war and thanks to the All Volunteer Force no one is inconvenienced by those wars who doesn't want to play. Thank us for helping make fun airstrike videos. :)

Visit firearms forums with a lot of (real) vets and active members. Visit military forums.

Learn what SPECIALTY you might prefer. The "military" is not generic. You could be the only straight male in a Med Group full of young sloots, or you could be stuck driving honey trucks in some hellhole where they haven't contracted that out.

Learn the many ways to serve. Learn to advance your career.
Ask experienced NCOs. Many are fucking amazed when they get someone who gives a shit about their own future.

If you wanna "serve" the people in your country whilst being physically fit here's an idea.

Be a fireman. You get all the glory, all the adulation and adrenaline without that mucky dropping 1000lb bombs on a Iraqi school yard so that dick Cheney could get wealthy from reconstruction contract.

Fireman are worth 1000 drone ass soldiers

:)?

Good for you, and I'll leave you with this:

Want the military to suck less? Be the fucking change you want to see.

Because I was hospitalized in a psych ward and don't want to go mess with arabs

Sadly it's true. I work in information security, and every candidate I have seen fresh out of the military, I have rejected. They're 5 years behind on things, at least. They often don't fit well in the private sector, insisting things be run like they do in the military, not realizing the private sector doesn't benefit from their rigid regiments. And while they know what attacks are (cross site scripting, sql injections, CSRF etc), they couldn't tell you how to execute them or recognize one in the wild. Not sure why, but every candidate we asked never could.

So these days, when I get a resume for someone fresh out (or at least within the last 5 years) of the military, I circular file it. i don't even look.

You're either a REMF or a faggot RAF Reg or some shit like that

I love how the various armed services show disdain for one another, with nicknames and generalizations, never realizing they're all scum.

And it's not like the reputation isn't deserved. I'll change my tune when someone can show me one of the following within 5 miles of a military base:

- A decent resturaunt
- A clean public bathroom
- A 12 year old virgin

I tend to get on with people and as I said I'm not a cunt so I'm hoping to lead a platoon effectively. Cheers for the advice. What lies can you clear up?

Royal navy, but not in Britbongistan

>Never been to any of his majesty's ships

>What's your job? Also I'm white?
I am a doctor, but I dont act like I fucking need attention 24x7.
I treat people and earn my living, thats it
I dont expect people to worship me

Wanted to join military as teenager. Got into accident, disabled somewhat. Tried to join anyways. They kindly said no. It's too bad there aren't opportunities for disabled in the military, but I understand.

Catterick, Yorkshire. Home of one of the YORKS batallions and the entirity of the ITC. The whole city is military and it's just like any other city. Restaurants, hotels, cinemas, shopping centres, leisure centres.

Cheers mate. I'm lining up visits after main board. I want to be in infantry

Plenty of firemen are prior service or current Guard or Reserve troops. (The military usually has much better benefits.)

It doesn't matter what you are "worth" in subjective moral terms to some little angry bitch on Sup Forums. That angry bitch ain't gonna pay your mortgage.

Many highly capable people make military careers. Of course they don't care what some angry scrub thinks. Like any large organization you'll have some shitbags, some heroes, and a lot of folks in-between.

BTW after working at a community college post-retirement, I will NEVER make jokes about "military intelligence" again. The PC silliness and ivory-tower ignorance was mindbogling. At least they were smart enough to hire many vets with education and training experience (constant training trains to train). It paid off for them and they are very pro-veteran.

You'll be told that you won't go on exercise outside of training. It's a lie. A lot of the time you'll be told you'll go home on the weekend and it'll be a lie (When you're at battalion). Most of your time in and out of training will always be admin.

The british military doesn't count. You guys have fucking wizards. Plus, you're british. Socially brits aren't even the same species as american military. Plus, your soldiers don't wrap themselves up in their flags and demand everyone pretend like they didn't spend 4 years picking their ass when they got shipped out to some arid hellhole.

They got shot at once and now they have PTSD. People on the south and west sides of chicago call that Wednesday.

We have wizards?

I'm not in the military cause there all like a million other ways to be almost eligible for welfare.

Military tech schools for computers (not avionics or other systems, but computers) will always lag what an enthusiast can learn on their own because computing changes so rapidly only enthusiasts will make the choice to keep up.

They should have stayed in then hunted a GS slot after retirement, and the military should outsource INFOSEC.

As I said, NOT british

I do however love the fact that Americans praise their military and considers them Top-tier in the world, when every exercise/operation I´v ever been to involving Americans, they´ve showed themselves being utter shit at almost everything, except boasting.

Exactly right. Like I said. American Sandies are dog shit
