Kamikaze_Badger Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Since we have a fairly decent community, is there anyone else here who's in their nations military or has done military service? Which branch, and how'd you enjoy it? I signed the dotted line on June 22nd, 2008, for the Army Reserve as a combat medic. I'll be shipping on the date in my sig. I've been drilling with my unit since August, and am really glad I made the decision I did. Great bunch of people, and I get paid $13 an hour to have fun on weekends.

suchuwato Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 My granddad was in the RAF, served in North Africa and stuff, and my dad was in the TA (like the Reserves) but I haven't got any plans to join. I would like to have a go in the RAF's film unit thingy, but it would stop me doing everything else I want to do, so it's a no. Edit: Oh yeah, and there's the whole possibility of dying thing that I'm not a huge fan of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdingeling Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 My grandfather served in the German Army in the Second World War as a supply delivery pilot. He got shot down three times by you allies but survived each of the crashes! My father has Chrones Disease (or however you spell that...) so he didn't go for service, I am not going either, cause I have too many allergies. To be honest, I really can't be bothered.

333 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 2 uncles were tunnel rats in Nam. Friends in marines (about to go to Pakistan), 1 in the Navy on a destroyer and one in the army as Calvary scout. Was about to sign with army till they looked at medical records and saw the word ASTHMA. Was told I was a no go even though I hadn't had an attack for 10 years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
