Joining the army?

[Earthquake.]

Well yea, I've been intrested in joining for a long time now, So will anyone else be joining? I hope to become a full time front line fighter.

I can't see what people see in the army, I mean.. you join up to get shot at basically?

[Paulio]

It's not as simple as that, you have to be fit and pass loads of tests.

No it isn't always about the fighting, In the army you can improve team skills, build up ranks earning ALOT of money, Build your confiedence, Your fitness will improve greatly, You will learn more skills and get more qualifications (Easy way to get into the police force) You can travel around the world free of charge on army missions/holidays, You don't have to pay tax, Get a driving licence easy, You can get yourself a flat for £30 a week (Now thats small rent pay) Meet whole new people & make great friends.

All that and you get shot dead on your first day on the frontline.

Getting fit is always fun, Down the gym for about 5 weeks, And revising for the test, I think anyone can pass, Actully its 1/9 who don't make it.

I'm in the army cadets yeah its fun but boring at times.

[HabboIsKrouts]

I feel the same as u, i want to be in the RAF/Navy, probably RAF, just the fact, fighting for my country makes me very proud. Some of you may disagree but that's how i feel.

[Earthquake.]

I know I love britain, Its one of the greatest countrys in the world dispite the weather, And was one of the strongest countrys. Maybe if we make it all the way we will be helping out eachother and may even meet :).

[LeftForDead]

Dont go into the army, my brother got to two weeks before the end of his basic trainning then realised that he will get sent to Iraq or Afgan as soon as he had finnished. Dont join atm trust me, join the RAF or the Navy.
My brothers now in the RAF in the police side of it, so ye dont join the army tbh.

[Earthquake.]

Don't put me down, I would love to go to Iraq or Afgan to support my country, Ill take a bullet for the queen.. So basically I put my life at risk for britain.

Im not, im saying that you would be alot safer working for the RAF or Navy. Afgan is also being compared to world war one and two.

Ah sorry for taking the wrong conclusion, But yeh I rather work in the army :)

Really?
you do know that in Iraq its mainly snipers and car bombs that are killing people, no action at all. Everything can be a bomb in Iraq, even a can of coke.

By joining the army it also improves your fitness. Not many people in the British army die.

People say that they will never get struck by lightining, some do though.
Do you want to take that chance.

Go for it, If you wanna risk your life for something you love then do it.
Your also making your country proud in the process.

Good luck in whatever you do.

I've been thinking about joining the air force, but i'm not sure if I want to or not yet.. it's either that or engineering, and i've not made my absolute decision yet.

couldnt you do that in the ar force?

[Leeroy]

i been thinking of joining the rifels or green jackets

[Shawnstra]

Well its compulsory here in Singapore so yes.

[-Soph-]

It is?

wow, I never knew that.

[Aces]

Well, been intrested in planes since i was like 5years old..
Then i saw the army jet planes and i coulldnt take my eyes off them!
Always wanted to join the air force, no matter what the risks are.

o.O How did he not know that if he joined the Army he would end up in Iraq or Afghanistan :S

[Nixt]

I think most of you are being a little pessimistic tbh! So far, 159 British lives have been lost in Iraq. Yes - that's a lot, yes - even one life is too much but you're all like "yeah join the army and get shot to pieces :rolleyes:" when the likelihood of that happening is very slim.
Joining the army is quite an honourable and brave thing to do imo, especially at a time like this. Good luck to you :).
I personally don't plan to join the army, but the job I want to do is serving this country and protecting it's people so yeah :eusa_danc

My cousin is in the army, he does 6 months in iraq and then 4months off. His two best friends got killed a few months back which wasn't very pleasant.

[Boo-]

my boyfriend is in the army.

In one way its good and in others its bad... you get a good life experience, fit, get to see some great parts of the world (e.g. my boyfriend has been to canada for 4 months last year) and can be good pay after a while of being there and doing the courses etc. plus its a great laugh (I've been to my boyfriends army base a few times and had a good laugh with his mates every time I've been)

Bad things are not being able to be home as much and missing out on things at home, being sent to somewhere like iraq or afgan, the fact that you could be posted away from UK! (my boyfriend might be posted in germany later this year and usually they are there for 2 years until they get posted again I think).

So it really depends on how you feel about being away from friends and family and if you could ever handle having to be sent to somewhere like afgan. If you think you could then go for it!

Hope this helps

My dads in singapore well kinda hes just off sarabuya in indonesia.
He used to be in the navy first a diver then bomb disposal for the whole of the uk's coast. and has brought up the first submarine, theres some useless info:P


o.O How did he not know that if he joined the Army he would end up in Iraq or Afghanistan :S
I ment straight away as soon as he was 18 he would of done a tour, and if you look its the young ones dying not the older ones

[LeftForDead]

Ive had a better idea for you, join a security force?
They have them in places like Iraq and ur allowed to shoot people within reason, like the person i know who did it got banned from Iraq because this woman was driving towards him and wouldnt stop at the check point so shot her. Hes propper rich has like a swiss bank account and stuff

[Earthquake.]

I would like to work for an american president, Maybe not george bush but another one, but then again I would rather fight for my country, taking a bullet for the flag init.
