>Be 28. >Bored of 9-5 office cubicle job >Kinda wanted to join the army for ages >I know it'll be boring and regimented for the most part, but the other parts I'll be camping, testing my strength and mental toughness, jumping out of air planes and generally doing fun stuff in a team environment with some bros >Thinking I should do it now before I get too old >realize current military is pretty cucked and bends over backwards for women >Don't care, still want to be soldier
Should I join the army for a bit of a sea change Pol? What are the pros and cons of military life?
>pros you make money and can get some pretty good experience for jobs afterwards depending which divison you join >cons you might die
Joseph Thompson
Join the fucking infantry faggot
Owen Anderson
What divisions would you say have good after service career paths?
Thomas Garcia
You better hurry up.
You're definitely not getting any younger, that's for sure
Landon Russell
Pretty much what I was thinking. If I get to jump out of airplanes then I'm in, as I enjoy skydiving.
Nathaniel Fisher
>going through the process of joining the army right now >got decent scores on my asvap >failed the personality test wew fucking lad. i have to re-test in a month.
Carson Jackson
What the shit is involved in the personality test and how could you fail?
Michael Russell
Do it m8. Im joining infantry in a few months cant wait
Daniel Taylor
I've actually been in the infantry and unless you're really dumb or bloodthirsty or have severe OCD and latent psychopathy it isn't 'fun'
also, at 28, you're too old, unless you have a degree and go for an officer spot.
also, you won't believe this: the army is actually more boring than your office job. nobody believes this until it's too late
Caleb Young
Also, there's no 'camping', 'fun stuff', or 'team environment'
I know this is hard to believe but life in the army is actually the exact opposite of what you're going to expect
Leo Cooper
You know war is coming when they start posting recruitment propaganda in the autistic shit posting center.
Noah Moore
It turns out that when they ask "Are you signing up just so you can kill people" you are supposed to answer "no".
Cooper Campbell
Kek.
Isaiah Brown
>he didn't get briefed by his recruiter on what not to say
Michael Gonzalez
Thanks for the heads up pham
Juan Sanchez
At 28 you're too old to do anything except apply directly for an officer program... which you either won't get because you don't qualify, or you will qualify for but everyone under your command will fucking loathe you for it because you'll be one of those fucking armchair COs.
Would you rather regret doing something or regret not doing something?
Dylan Thompson
depends on if the doing something can lead to life altering physical, mental or emotional injuries
Aiden Howard
I joined Army at 28. 29th b day in basic. 13B. He's not too old.
Go ahead kid, jump. Best times ever. Don't thank me. Thank your recruiter.
Lincoln Davis
28 here, im just waiting for felony waivers to make a comeback.
Adam Hall
Your recruiter is retarded.
Josiah Thomas
OP Nope, don't do it. I was in and i was fun at first. Good leadership (on company/platoon/group/ level) with good friends and a job that was fun and engaging.
Then after the debacle in Libya (my country was involved with planes in Libya and a small force in Afghanistan) and the shilling of Assad i became pretty put of by the EU/west/NATO/US and their dicking around in the world and after looking it up i realized that pretty much all western countries are more or less vassals to Washington and that it's only getting worse. So i got out.
And now it feels like i wasted several years on my life for nothing and for what? I can change a barrel on m240 in
Jace Bell
And if you don't want it from a swecuck you can take it from Smedley Butler.
And if you don't know who he is KYS
Michael Moore
Join the reserves if you want to be weekend warrior since I"m sure you don't want to be a F/T soldier. If you did you wouldn't post here you would be outside running 10k and doing pull ups
Charles Russell
Already given up smoking and am increasing my general fitness. We only require 6.5 on the beep test for entry, I'm pulling 7s with smokers lung.
I think I'd regret not doing something more.
Camden Sanchez
JOIN THE MILITARY!!!
I've just joined the military in my country, you will meet a lot of same-minded people.
You will create bonds together with your brothers, that can only be achieved through being in the military.
Think about it, being in a brotherhood that you trust 100 %, fighting for your country and your people, while shooting guns and having a good time - what's the option?
You must ignore the women, the LGBT faggots and all of the political correctness that surely exist in the military.
In order to fight it, we must take a stand by making sure we become the majority again - strong, white men that believes in true freedom and true patriotism!
Good luck Aussiebro!
Owen Cook
You do know that the 6.5 is just an absolute minimum
Unless you're a woman if you can only score a 7 you're not going to make it in. The Australian Army is NOT hurting for unskilled soldiers, there are thousands of men younger, fitter and thus more desirable than you that have to wait 18 months before even being considered.
If you really want to get into the military for the sake of a military lifestyle, pick something with the Air Force or Navy where you'll actually stand a chance and learn some skills for when you leave
Bentley Phillips
>fighting for your country and your people, Are aware of that you live in a country where the majority of the politicians work as hard as they can to abolish their own country while at the same time denying the existence of their own people and that the military is ultimately under the control of the politicians?
Zachary Gray
Also been thinking about joining recently... I need to grow up. I want to marry my girl and give her a good life - it seems the army is a good way to accomplish that. If I hate it I only have to stick it out for 4-6 years. I'm thinking about doing any of the cyber jobs, anyone here have any experience?
>inb4 hackerman
Mason Gomez
I would if I was living in a decent western country. I would enlist in the blink of an eye.
Adrian Williams
Fighting and/or dying for israel. Lol
Eli Richardson
your to old for fulltime 4yr contract join the reservists
why you want to fight for merkin oil anyways?
Ethan Lopez
Just run for office and send people to battle. It's funner because you get to oversaw all the cool shit without being shot at
Luis Mitchell
Clausewitz had it backwards, politics is the continuation of war by other means - everything boils down to conflict resolution, and the most basic form of conflict resolution is battle
Kayden Stewart
>Clausewitz had it backwards I don't know man, what you're saying sounds like heresy to me.
Jayden Morales
Good luck getting through kapooka with the bare minimum m8. aim for around 10
Easton Williams
Any Aussies know how long the waiting list for Rifleman is?
watch the video and read the tweets it will blow your mind man
Aaron Brown
Don't do it if you have dreams of getting to fight. Chances are you will just train for 4 years while hoping that you get put into rotation for deployment. And then even if you do get deployed, unless you are special forces you won't see much action. In short, it is a waste of time going in for a combat role. If you want a trade it might be an idea.
Jacob Watson
It depends on where you live and fluctuates a lot, it took my mate who joined around 6 months ago 9 months of waiting but I have heard of people going 18
Ian Gray
>all these non ADF ITT giving you info
Look into officer training. They're hurting for those, not unskilled smokers who play cod all day
also, if you're an abo or a middle easterner, then you'll be in pretty quick.
The head shed is pretty cucked as well, mate, so have fun with that. the PFT is a joke, aim for 3 times the min
Fucking long time, mate
Sebastian Baker
fuark hope its not that long
Leo Wilson
Would I get accepted into the military if I have tinnitus?
Alexander Carter
probably not.
they do check your hearing, and you'll probably DQ on that
William Russell
Yvan eht nioj
Cooper Sullivan
i dont know if OP likes dicks in his mouth, mate
Sebastian Collins
8m sgaf rof si yvan
Angel Miller
How big was the fitness change for anons that enlisted?
Parker Mitchell
gaf yaw gnorw eht ti etorw uoy
Thomas Rivera
>also, if you're an abo or a middle easterner, then you'll be in pretty quick
why the fuck?
Colton James
Headsheds cucked, m8
some user posted this shit last night
Landon Cook
are you in the adf? what do people think of this stuff inside?
Cooper Gutierrez
it's all a joke here, mate
Elijah Sanders
you are retarded for not knowing how to act
Henry Mitchell
you're signing up to do a job, you faggot nigger
Dylan Morris
Thank you for your service swedebro
Kevin Brooks
>tfw PFT for the Air Force in 2 weeks >still can't Cooper Test >still can't do the required pushups >still too slow on the situps >max age to get in is 24 and I'm 23
I'm running against time, hold me brehs.
Robert Bell
well then GET OFF A FUCKING ANIME FORUM AND DO SOME FUCKING PUSHUPS
jesus fuck, mate is it so hard to not be a shitbag?
Carson Jenkins
OP im on the same boat as you and have been tossing this around my head for too long
ill give you the easy decision i made
If trump wins in november i enlist If hillary wins i go live my boring ass life
i will never shed blood for a globalist
Eli Wood
I would have joined but I couldn't be arsed. Would've won Iraq by meself but I was into porn and games.
Camden Richardson
I'm already going to raise the number to 200 pushups per day instead of the 80-90 I'm at right now with progression. The issue will be cardio, really, not to mention that I need proper rest to actually benefit from the training I've been putting on myself. Could've gone on roids but I'm honestly afraid there's bloodwork and I like my natty status.
Nice dubs
Blake Johnson
fucking cooper test i hate that shit.. couldnt even get 2900.. FML
