Anons that have served in their countries militaries, a few questions:
1. cunt
2. branch
3. how was it/is it
me:
1. flag
2. air force
3. pretty fucking great, best living of all the branches, great travel oppertunites (travel around the world for free on leave, literally free flights to wherever the US military is for vacation)
I was going to try to join the Air Force but I’m unfit for service because my eyesight is shit and I only have one eye
does weekend warrioring count?
how did you lose your eye?
yeah i guess
leaf
army
gay
but dont you get to smoke weed in the canadian military?
I have a third eye but nobody can see it or even acknowledge it exists
this was 6 years ago
The military could use a guy like you
Me and my friends used to throw rocks and pretend to be wwii soldiers in the forest. Once a rock hit my eye pretty hard and now here I am.
Is the canadian military jerked off as much as the US military? will cunts buy you free food if you show up in uniform or THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE?
sad, and now you cant be a real soldier
I haven't experienced it, but my friend had someone buy him earbuds on an Air Canada flight, and those fuckers are expensive.
US
Air Force
for a former NEET like me this is actually a sweet setup, free room, food, ~meh~ paycheck but I hardly spend money anyways, free healthcare and education, etc.
but job wise this is actually kind of boring 2bh, I got stationed in Wyoming and yes I actually kind of like it here but I thought being in a non-busy shop would be great, but this sucks so much work is boring and I actually want to find things to do instead of sitting on my phone holy shit, I thought chair force only applied to nonners but even maintenance here has nothing to do
Gonna enlist if I don't get good scholarship, probably gonna happen because I didn't do much sports.
whats your rank airman i'm an airman
I need to get back in shape before I attempt to enlist :/
hello airman i am airman first class
1.israel
2.airforce
3. it was pretty great , i keep in touch with my army friends 5 years later and it was a great experience. felt good contributing to the security of the country and our unit even got a presidential award at one point and i we got to meet the president.
honestly im mad at myself as an edgy teenager i was kinda pissed off at having to do mandatory service but honestly i had the time of my life in the army (after i finished bootcamp\training and joined my unit, before that was kinda meh)
also we had a gym and a pool on base and went to both daily so i got Jow Forums in the army and i got my first gf in the army (some girl i did guard duty with).
im lucky because i got florida by a big city even though i put nothing stateside everything overseas
you doing 4 or 6? if your doing 4 i hear you might have a hard time leaving wyoming
sounds pretty cool, i assume shit pay no benefits for mandatory service?
6. I'm not sure how its gonna go for me but half the 6's I know either stayed here their entire career or dipped right at the 2 year mark.
Apparently the easiest way for me to leave is to beg to be stationed at korea or honduas (idk why honduras) for two years and I actually get to pick what I want after that, if that base needs me of course
There is more prestige in working for the State Department as an international diplomat than being its military attack dog...just saying...
i'm also trapped at my station, not that i'm too mad about that I just really want to go overeas, i'll go the route of begging for korea i might really consider re enlisting if I get rammstien through bop
but at the end of the day dont worry about it bro, we get space A even after we leave the military so travel will always be an option
1. Norgay
2. Navy
3. Nice back then, when serving 12 months of your 18 month conscription when you're 19. Not so much fun when they call you in for your yearly training excercise when you're 28 and have a life.
Fuck conscription.
do you ever have to ride the ships around for extended periods of time or does norway not go very far with their navy
korea required MOPP gear all the time, that's my biggest complaint. I didn't want to go to rammstein but seeing how empty my shop is I think i made the wrong choice here
you bopped to wyoming? why? also my shop is actually getting overcrowded, we've ran out of desks for people to work at and we keep getting more from tech school, i'm comm by the way
I didn't bop but literally everyone in my tech school who asked for rammstein or alaska got stationed there, even people who didn't want either of them. If I put that on there I'm 100% sure I would be chilling in germany right now
Anybody here from Air Force 1?
its not fucking FAIR, everyone in my cycle/class stayed stateside, class before went all overseas
it used to be a decent salary but they froze like 5 decades ago and didnt change it with inflation. we got like 100$ a month. combat troops got like 3 times that. enough for some snacks at the base minimarket.
you could get much more if you're poor live in a shit area or have to take care of your family financially (you can get dumb office job next to your home where you can also get a civilian job).
as for benefits obviously army pays for all your medical shit so a lot of people got their eyes fixed, got various operations and shit like that. i didnt get a single sick day since highschool and was perfectly healthy so i had no use for that but i did a whole bunch of dental hygiene operations.
nowdays i think noncombat troops earn like ~1000 shekels and combat ~2000. if you actually want an army career you just go to officer course and get a proper salary right after you finish it.
>1. cunt
Brazil
>2. branch
"Army"
>3. how was it/is it
i was a good shooter. Won a couple of contests in the army.
Food was shit tho.
If you're lucky enough to serve in the coast guard, which is a part of the navy, you get to patrol our waters, which extend very far north. I know people who were in the coast guard, they went to Jan Mayen, Svalbard, the uninhabited, far north of Svalbard (Nordaustlandet), Bjǿrnǿya (Bear Island), also uninhabited, etc. Rumour has it they interact with a lot of Chinese subs near our waters and tell them to fuck off. It's not like the US though, we don't usually go to other countries, though there were conscripts on the boat that went to Syria and picked up their chemical weapons in 2013. It was the same frigate (KNM Helge Ingstad) which crashed last year, if that ever made the news abroad.
I was a military guard, stationed at the main naval base on land, and hardly ever set foot on a boat during my year. Coast guard was my first choice, but you don't get to choose yourself. You only get to list your wishes, and then they try to accomodate that, but their needs is what decides where you go in the end.
I just refused to work for them
what did they say
did you ever get deployed to problem areas of the country or to police people
>base minimarket.
God, i just remember a history.
>be me, 18
>enroll in army because i was a dropout and spend half my week drinking
>first months is hard, they try to break us. No contact with the outside world, no tasty food, no friends, no gf, no cellphone, no money to buy stuff at the base market, garbage tier equipment (you are forced to buy better boots out of your pocket in brazil)
>but there is this one guy who's cousin is a little bit more rank in our base, and he let him buy stuff in his name
>After weeks without tasting sugar, we almost have a orgasm drinking fucking coca cola
>everyone is parting like we are a bunch of children
>Lt see us and gets mad (he is a strong believer that by breaking us, turn us into men)
>call us all to the camp
>we line up and wait for him
>few minutes later he shows up with a empty bottle of coke and a gallon of diesel
>he fill the bottle with diesel and start to talk about how good is coke
>he handle us the bottle and tell us to drink it and "enjoy the moment" (it was the commercial from the time)
>we all just pretend to drink it up and make ugly faces
>but this one retard actually drank half a bottle of diesel and end up in infirmary
>weeks later, during camp, he chop off clean off one of his finger, cutting firewood, and we spend hours looking for it in the field. We never found it.
Svalbard is uninhabited? I thought there was some kind of a settlement there
No. I only stayed there for one year.
A friend of mine stayed and had a lot of histories.
He was asked to be transferred (you receive more money for the far you go) to the border of Amazon, and killed a lot of drug smugglers and FARCS (FARCS is no more, tho), he did take part in peace operations in favelas, and he went to Haiti as a peace maker.
Fuckign legend.
He told me one history about a couple of FARC boats smuggling drugs into Brazil that he and his company ambush. They did not had a chance to retaliate.
Nah, the main island of Spitsbergen has a few thousands inhabitants, other big islands like Nordaustlandet and Edgeöya are uninhabited. That's what I meant with "the uninhabited far north".
extremely based
sounds fun.i was in non combat airforce bootcamp so we got to go home every 2 weeks for a weekend. the most shit i got is our class commander (dude in charge of 10 of us) having me run around the entire airbase doing pushups and shit in the middle of the night (just me and him) because i forgot to turn off my phone in one of the first aid classes we had and my mom sent me some dumb shit.
honestly the worst time i had in the army was on my first day. they send us all to one base where they sort us to the various army units and take us on buses from that base to the bases of whatever unit we're doing bootcamp with. they had me on mess hall trash\cleanup duty in a base with hundreds of troops going though that mess hall. i literally didnt have a second to sit down for like 14 hours.
other then that airforce bootcamp is fairly easy (unless you're a pilot or airforce special forces like shaldag or 669) .our class commander liked to play mind games with us but the others were fairly easy on their soldiers. one of the class commanders was a 1.4m womanlet that had a 2.1 m tall russian dude in her class that shit was wierd.
1. Sweden
2. Air Force (previous Army)
3. Its great, I like it. Paygrade is shit, but who cares, I get to do fun shit all day.
1. USA
2. Special Force Black Ops
3. It was awesome, had more than 200 confirmed kills. The hajjis used to piss their pants whenever they heard I was on the battlefield, they called me Al-Zuzaqa, meaning "The Beast."
also we had a rivalry with a bunch of dudes from special forces (where the brother of one of the dudes from my unit served). we had a bet with them that we could steal their unit's flag from their area of the base before they stole ours. we managed to steal they flag though social engineering and some womanlet from my unit sneaking into their warehouse and later had a CoD tournament with them in their clubhouse and BTFO them. they did beat us in all the base sports competitions tho.
we still have their flag in our office to this day and tell everyone on base how a bunch of technicians BTFO the world's most elite special forces dude.
Ta ikke grundloven for gitt osv
call of duty 2 or 3?
>honestly the worst time i had in the army was on my first day
Dude...
>first day in army
>they put us all on the sun and start to make really tiring exerise
>there is one particularly annoying that any brazilian who served will be triggered (just say "sentado um dois, de pé um dois" and you will see the pain in his face)
>out of nowhere one just just fall in the ground and start to cry
>everyone is just in shock because in our heads we are men
>Lt pick him up in his arms like he was a baby
>call everyone to follow him
>take this 18 yo guy, in his arms, crying like a baby, to the base market
>and buy him candy
>and force us to sing lullabies
That was one of the most bat shit crazy that i saw him do with us. In the very first day i know that i had fucked up.
>we still have their flag in our office to this day and tell everyone on base how a bunch of technicians BTFO the world's most elite special forces dude.

>air force
>best job I've ever had, but that's a low bar
Good pay, good vacation days, feels like a civvy job in which I wear green CADPAT, which is just what I wanted. Our planes and tools are old as shit though, planes almost never come down without some kind of snag.
>>take this 18 yo guy, in his arms, crying like a baby, to the base market
>>and buy him candy
>>and force us to sing lullabies
holy fucking shit man this guy was based af. i'd go buy him a beer after i finished bootcamp if he was our Lt. in our bootcamp Lt did basically nothing but interview us (to determine where we go after bootcamp) and teach a bunch of classes. our day to day shit was done by class commanders which were all rabat (2nd rank in the IDF, most get it after 8 months in the army)
one of my HS friends was a class commander his entire service but he did bootcamp for the most shit-tier soldiers (basically people from poor families, with health conditions or people who didnt like the army and faked some shit) who were all intended to serve in soul crushing 9 to 5 redundant office jobs because the army has no use for them. his entire service was spent doing 2 week bootcamp for spoiled 18 yearold girls that kept crying and trying to flirt with their commander to make things easier.
also nowdays there's always israeli army TV-shows because the entire fucking country has nostalgia for their army days. fucking bootcamp soldiers are reality-TV stars nowdays

Weird in our military NCO's are usually the ones training/leading most of the time at the lowest level and the officers are generally above everyone heads working on larger things.
Saw our flight commander (captain) maybe three times throughout basic training
I had forget that women serve alongside with men in Israel.
How does this even work? Putting a bunch of horny teenagers without parent supervision together?
it's the same here our seren (captain) was a super friendly cute religious MILF (we later found out she was a stoner that got religious because of her husband that looks basically like that gigachad that everyone keeps posting) and the unit commander was a rav segen (major) fat sociopathic woman.
they almost never knew anything about our day to day work and the guy that ran the unit was a super energetic mizrahi manlet rasam (sarjent major).
in that way our armies are similar it's just that the career army people dont want to deal with all the bootcamp bullshit so the entire staff of the unit that does bootcamp for people are regulars doing their 3 year army service or junior officers (second lieutenant). i think this is pretty common in conscript armies (my dad served in the soviet army and they had something very similar).
also there's a difference between combat and noncombat units , in combat units the guy who is your class commander in bootcamp is usually your commander in regular service (he enlisted a year before you and finished his bootcamp + commander course)
In our boot camp, we usually have senior NCOs, because serving as a drill instructor/trainee trainer is forced upon them if more are needed , it's kind of nice because they will be guys that have been in the Air Force for a very long time and offered us alot of insight on what the AF will really be like, our drill instructors (military training instructors MTIs) are less like madmen trying to make everyone in the flight fear them and more like mentors and father figures, most of the time they wont fuck you up unless you mess up, otherwise most are calm but stern in their instruction, this is pretty unique out of all the branches and sometimes considered soft, but i felt like the way they did it taught us more and made us more focused on not fucking up and getting with the program close to the end they loosen up on us and really begin to open up and joke around, I actually miss them and valued their leadership
airforce technician bootcamp is separate (woman do the shortest one which like 2 weeks and men do 4). we do the technician training together but have separate dorms where you cant go anywhere near the female dorms and vice versa.
in actual service you're not supposed to do it as well but most people dont care. some of the people from my unit had gfs\bfs on base and they snuck into each other's dorms from time to time. 90% of the time nobody gives shit about who fuck who only when there's some drama like some bitch spreads rumors about another(and commanders hear about it) or the base\squadron commander catches someone violating the rules they actually enforce the rules for a few weeks.
one army thing that actually is a fuckfest is an army finances course you can go on to convert to judaism if you're not jewish. there's more women then men there (probably because you have to be jewish to marry in israel and its more important to women) and you stay at a comfy hotel on the army's dime so everyone can freely fuck everyone and they do. also it's people from all over the army and country so girls feel like they can fuck someone there and never meet them again . (pic related is a bunch of people doing that course)
forgot pic
this 2bh, the first two weeks are just yelling like you'd expect but after that they (mostly) drop the act and actually give you good advice on your career.
but sometimes you do run into a power trip who didn't want to become in mti in the first place
>whatsapp-image-2017
lol
the girl at the top in the middle is a cute tho
I actually kinda miss BMT, most adventure I've had in a really long time, every day had purpose and there were plenty of challenges to overcome but it wasn't mindbreaking or anything any normal person could do it. I also just miss my flight
also we had this thing called taglit where the army sends a bunch of soldiers to escort basically a bunch of tourists around the country (usually americans, i think they call it birthright).
as a soldier you're 100% guaranteed to to get laid no matter how beta you are . i went on that think having fucked only 1 women in my life before (my ex army gf) and managed to fuck 3 women and was offered threesomes multiple times. foreigner women get slutty as fuck on those trips.
the most autistic skinny virgin dude in my unit managed to fuck a british qt on day one.
iT doESnT geT eASieR you JusT get BEtTer
it got way easier the second I heard "what the piss" lol
>burger
>muhreens
Its was shit
did you ever hear "i wish i joined the air force" or was everyone there a gung ho die for the corp type of dude, i ask because every time I talk to marines they always complain when I tell them all the shit we get given to us
im just pulling images from google. it's mostly russian\half russian girls on these.
Jewish girls are so beautiful :3333
fly FIGHT WIN
1. Finland
2. Artillery comms
3. Absolute shit and best thing that has ever happened to me. I want back in.
All the time. Did a lot of work with usaf and navy so it was pretty obvious to everyone that we were getting the shit end of the deal most of the time.
not really in terms of looks they're average, same as any other country but in israel you get more verity in terms of looks and they're mostly non degenerate and family oriented outside tel aviv leftists.
most israeli women get married + 1\2 kids before 30.
Cant you go active reserve or become a fulltime if you want to go back in?
by the way did any of you guys have something like the israeli youth brigades (basically a week long course to prepare highschool students for the army with army drills and m16 shooting) ?
or army highschools ? here the airforce has highschools where all the kids are in uniform and they kind of prepare them for service as airforce technicians (although they can still choose to go into other army units).
I applied for fulltime after the service but so did several others and they prioritize CO's instead of NCO's.
These days I've gathered bit too much medical and legal history to be admitted.
Can you do me a solid and invade us so I can get back into it for a bit?
was it basically this for your entire service ?
youtube.com
>Can you do me a solid and invade us so I can get back into it for a bit?
Wish I could, but we should not fight each other. However if Finland becomes our clay again ill make you fulltime
JROTC is basically this
looks pretty cool, i like the uniforms. pretty much like our airforce highschools.
T-thank
Yes, intermixed with lot of this:

>Yes, intermixed with lot of this:

Ah yes, all the hours spent doing maintenance on equipment and vehicles. They don't often tell you about that.
wow and I thought our military had some fat fucks in it
girls definitely qts, although it would seem the difference is that your regulations seem to permit female beauty
flag
border guard regiment at greek border
boring, it was before refugee crises, nothing much to do except watching sleepy greek soldiers from other side
flag
cavalry
fun but mostly shitty, although the shitty part was so common you just end up keeping the armor-driving, practice shooting and the friendships in your hard drive and end up erasing the shitty part from your memory.
Why are JROTC members so cringey?
>A shitload of medals
>In JROTC
Jesus christ, why? For beeing top toilet cleaner?
flag
mortar
boring, cold and sometimes stressful
1. Finland
2. Naval infantry, eg. coastal jaegers
3. It was nice, I miss being food- and sleep deprived.
1.Flag
2.Infantry
I was stationed in a base in north Sinai.best friends you could ever make in your life. Tough environment and shit food helped me lose weight and get in shape. also used weapons I never though in my life I would hold in my hands.
Overall it was an ok experience.
>Noooo! You can't just forget your rifle at outhouse
Do they give out medals simply for breathing or existing or what
Nylands brigad?
