Military cuck thread

How was AB? Can you compare it to AA?

1) Russia
2) Aerospace forces, radio technical troops. Basically, all I do is operate a giant truck that loads and unloads anti-missile radars, boring stuff desu, at least I can sleep in a cockpit and read mangas all day

I'm not in anymore, but I wanted to fuck around for a few years while getting paid to do so. 10/10 would do again, and probably stay in for longer to get them retirement benees, I'd be half-way to retirement if I'd have stayed in.

any qualification you can later use in the civilian job market too? otherwise it's kind of a waste of time I heard. But if you stay in the military you can retire early and get a nice pension, at least here

3. Conscription

We do, but I managed to dodge it when I was in university. We have this thing, called "military faculty", it's a two year light version of conscription, after which you get a military ID. I got one, but failed my uni diploma lmao

hello brother, wanna share secrets? I work just in 200 kms away from finnish border haha

>doesn't Russia have conscription?
We have, but we can also dodge it by "hiding" somewhere for 9 years. All you have to do is to not sign any summons.
You just disappear, work without contract and do not pay taxes.

Be aware that you're gonna be the first one to get missile'd in case of an air invasion, radar stations light up like beacons and they're prime targets for destruction.

i'm with the king abdullah 2 armored division, 40th king hussein armored brigade, mechanized infantry battalion.

Yeah, but there are different kinds of them, the ones I operate are smaller and autonomous, they form a net of radars and work together or something, that's why we move them every 36 hours or so to random locations. Don't forget there are a lot of decoys too. And after the loading stuff we usually stay a bit further, a few kilometers or more to not interfere with it's work. Fuck, I think I'm not allowed to write this stuff lmao

1 year and 2 months in and i'm still not used to the fucking ground, very gritty sand and small rocks fucked my feet up.

Don't worry it's all well-known tactics. Almost all modern radars are based on mobile platforms.

I was stationed near Jordan while inna IDF. I used to pass next to the Ajloun area alot. Good memories of drinking Turkish coffee at 4:30AM in a field in the Jordan Valley and watching the sun come over the mountains.

c-comfy!

If I was 20 and the special forces were not full of fascist retards and the conscription wasn't that long I'd do this too for the lulz. Not I'm not willing to waste time and energy into cleaning turkish style toilets and cutting down weeds.

Be warned though, it's just a boring shitty experience used for bragging rights. I had 3 friends who did this, 1 quit, the other one wanted to be a paratrooper really badly and the third one was an alt-right tier retard so he fit right in.

yes

yeah, we're gonna retire them soon though and only have m60a3's.

The more you bitch in the army the more you'll bring yourself down, frustration feeds on frustration, the more you give into it the more frustrated you'll be, and in turn, the more likely you'll be to give in to frustration, thus completing the cycle.
This also goes to complaining in a group about the army, it brings you the fuck down and it's VERY difficult to come back from it, you're just making your time there worse.
I wish more people were taught this when they got into the army, bitching about the army is a slippery slope, and I think it applies to all walks of life.
In the last 8-ish months of my service I let myself fall into this despair and it made my time in the army that much worse.

years of conscription
that's a fucking long time. Even during the height of the Cold War we only had like 15 months I think. Can't the IDF recruit more professional soldiers instead of taking three years from every adolescent?

I unironically wanted to go but I fucked up my eyes

pretty cool. I had to get an MRAP license. Fucking hated driving those things around on base to get miles. Steering was so loose and you could hardly see a thing through the windshield.

>3 years
mornings t. only 1.5 months left out of my 6

do other countries praise their troops as often as Americans do?

The population just isn't very large.
Think about it, almost 9M people? a fifth of this are arabs which are exempts from conscription.
(a guess off the top of my head) a fifth of THOSE are Haredi which weasel out of conscription.
the part of that population between the ages of 18 and 21 is pretty small.
and of the people aged 18-21 there are many who's medical profile is too low for combat roles.
of those fitting some are sent to programs if they've proven themselves gifted in some mental area (those gifted academically for example can get into a program where the army pays for a degree and then they serve even longer as officers in their profession)
and of THOSE there are people being massive uncircumcised dicks to get into shitty, low effort jobs.
That's not to say there aren't professional soldiers, but those are typically special units that are very hard to get into like pilots or special forces (shayetet or sayeret matkal for example).
If people get into the army enough they can keep serving as officers (if they pass the various courses) or as higher sergeants (but those are almost always non combatant roles, like managing an armory, managing the kitchen, managing inventory, garbage like that).
speaking of higher sergeants, there's always an effort to lower their numbers because a lot of them sort do absolutely dick all.
We just don't really have the population to have a professional army that wouldn't be substantially weaker (not to mention in a non conscription army it would be harder to get people into important roles that suck absolute ass, like artillery, aerial defense or the less prestigious infantry brigades)
A long conscription also has the advantage of having a large pool of personnel skilled enough to serve as reservists, which the IDF heavily depends on.
I honestly can't understand this, my basic training alone was 8 months.
hell yeah, except it's less "FUCK YEAH" and more "our precious collective children"

>I honestly can't understand this, my basic training alone was 8 months.
idk dude being a soldier is really simple, the only thing i could think of that could be improved for the average 6 month soldier with more training is their overall resilience and fitness, both of which will probably go away after long years spent on reserve so why bother? 6 months is easily enough to train all the necessary skills for non-leaders. in fact i think it could maybe even be shorter than 6 months, we have many days, even weeks when we don't really do anything useful.

>it's mandatory but not that intensive. Been pretty fun so far

Is that true that after service you should hold your gun at home?

>military
I'm not a murderer

>that's adorable
yes, and I think it's an interesting symptom of having a conscript army.
Because everyone's been there, so no one above 18 is particularly impressed with men in uniform, it just evokes nostalgia for the old days, sympathy for exhausted soldiers the same age as your son and the weekly "holy fucking shit there are so many soldiers on the train, when were there so many Jews on a train?"
The downside of this (which as a commander infuriated me) is that soldiers can be absolutely worthless piles of dog crap, do things that as civilians would fuck them over and get no more than a slap on the wrist and maybe a short stay at a military prison.
Should be noted military prison isn't actually prison, it's just a separate base where your access to your phone is limited, you spend all day doing manual labor and supposedly you can get cigarettes for pretty cheap.
>I heard things are getting crazy right now over there
Yes, the IDF were being candyasses and "avoiding escalation" by bombing worthless crap after giving out a warning in advance so everyone in the building can leave.
So now that Hamas and the Islamic Jihad rightfully feel like they can get away with anything because of the Eurovision they grew a pair and started firing rockets and anti tank missiles at civilians.
So now Netanyahu decided to grow a pair and attack shit that actually hurts hamas.
Hamas doesn't give half a shit if civilians die or empty buildings are destroyed, they only care when their officials are sent to meet their maker.
I disagree, there are certain skills you can gain only after basic training, and the skills you do get in basic training only take root in active service, regardless of the corps you serve in.
Even infantry is more than point-n-shoot (if it's any good, anyway)
I think if we just sent people to basic training and discharged them they'd make much poorer reservists

Sweden Yes!
Infantry, reconaissance
I joined the Home Guard at 15, did my conscription in the Corps of Engineers, and then I just kept going. I’m 33 now, and the military is the only real job I’ve ever had.

what do you do in your 8 month basic training? in our 2 month basic training we practise shooting a rifle, marching, how to sleep in the forest without dying to -30C temperatures and whatever you call going to eat in a form and saying mr. undersergeant etc. basic stuff like that

I just wanted to stop being a neet

These 8 months are divided into 2, the first 4 are basic training and the last 4 are "advanced training".
You can think of it like this; in basic training you turn civilians into soldiers, and in advanced training you turn soldiers into soldiers specialized in a specific field.
Basic training has all the things you mentioned but more intensely (with the exception of the -30C stuff, I have never experienced temperatures below -1 or -2 and people start getting hypothermia between 5C and 10C)
You go to the range all the time working on your form, etiquette and shooting in various conditions and stances.
We had 3 weeks in basic training where we lived in tents in the desert near the range and did nothing but practice shooting all that time (including charging at targets in formation with live fire in the open), what a miserable Hannukah that was.
We also had 3-ish days where we trained out 'survivability', where we slept in ditches in the desert and had like 10-13 minutes to eat (including opening up the canned food and half the squad "covering" the other half, we had to change at some point so the other half could eat and had to make sure we took all our trash with us, I had a personal vendatta against a can of preserved apricots).
We also had a lot of days where we'd just study theory in classes and days where our commanders would absolutely ride us.
And you know what? we never had enough time, funnily enough.
In field intelligence advanced training they were less strict with us and taught us things like camouflage, operating common recon equipment, building a camouflaged position capable of holding everyone, what we should do during an operation and how to spend 3+ days exclusively in the aforementioned camouflaged position, how to read the map well, navigation by compass, map and terrain (including nighttime navigation) and how to direct tank, artillery or helicopter fire effectively.

I don't have a big enough character limit to list everything.
