You did well Alessandro,... you tried it and realised it wasn't for you, so instead of staying on and making yourself and those about you miserable, you moved on to a better suited career where you have obviously done well..Dear Sirs senojekips, m551sheridan, muscogeemike, LeEnfield, Der Alte
let me thank you for having written your experience as soldiers...
Very interesting to read, it leaves a great deal of respect for you and your life.
My experience was very very "little": I joined the army in 1994, I enroled in the school of antiaircraft artillery, I have been commissioned second lieutenant... but after few days in the Army I realised it was not my "road"...
As Der Alte Sir says "I think is my luck today"... I am a teacher of mathematics and I never forget my days in the Army... but my life was going somewhere else!!
Good day everybody
Alex

It always made me wonder why the Services made it so hard for people to get out, that clearly were not suited to the job.
There are times when I shake my head and wonder what the hell I have gottem myself into, but, for the most part, I have great memories of my time in the service. The greatest people I've ever known have been in the Army, theirs a comradery and brotherhood that is rarely found outside the military...and that too keeps me drivin on.
Back in the late 70s I was something of an rascal. Joyriding and minor thefts was the order of the day. One day things went wrong and a mate was killed. I was the one who pulled him out of the wreck and I was the only one who remained on the spot until the police and ambulance came. That day was the turning point.
After hearing my life story so far the judge gave me a choice - the military or prison. Only one that would take me was the Royal Marines. They became my lifeline and I have loved every minute of it all. Today I have left the corps but is still a Marine in my heart. Today I´m a nature preserve supervisor and often takes young misfit on survival courses in the highlands.
That pretty much sums it up for me!
sounds like the Marines are the Marines are the Marines, regardless of country
