I'm still new here and my military knowledge is somehow "low" compared to others in here....LOL. Maybe I could learn a thing or two.

Anyways, hello guys...I just wanted to hear some warm welcomes and probably hear about some of your military experiences since I gotta join the EDF on August, 2013 -it's by force, not a choice (maybe unfortunately?)- so, I wonder if someone can give a very brief example of how life is in the army.

P.S on the left it shows the American flag because I'm a permanent resident and currently living in the US. I'm not claiming to be something I'm not.

Greetings!

Welcome to the forum from an old has been.

Welcome from an ancient NCO.
How´s life in the Army? - well, don´t know never been a soldier.
Like this I believe.

Life in the Army

My CSgt was a right nasty piece of work in 5/8 Kings(V) Regiment before I joined RMP!!!

Welcome aboard.

Thank u all.

I guess I'll go to the army not expecting any good or bad...LOL.

Greetings and Welcome, friend...

I am not quite sure what you mean by you gotta join the EDF by force...

Anyway, we have some really good vet and some other pretty good ones, too...

And by the way, you gotta to interact with a good friend of mine- he is in the RM, and a pretty cool guy- in the very sense of the word...!

Welcome....

All males in my country are required to do military service. Your education level decides how long your service will be and also decides which part of the army you will serve in. When it comes to females though, they don't have to serve and if they volunteer they only do side stuff like nursing..etc but they don't carry weapons. Quite sexist, I would have to say.

EDIT: And yeah sure, I would like to interact with that good friend of yours. One question though, I believe RM = Royal Marines??
