I'm just wondering if there's anyone on here that's served in the army?

I just have a few questions.

How fit do you need to be before joining?

At the moment i can run 2 miles before needing to stop for a rest, and my overall workout consists of me running around 3 miles in about 35 minutes.

How long are you in training before you actually leave for Afghanistan/Iraq or where ever your country needs you?

What are the other recruits like?

Are they all supportive and friendly or are they tough on you?

Just wondering because the last few years I've been considering joining up.

P.S. Please don't move this to the gen chat board, i don't want ****ers like Edge posting their racist and offensive comments on it. <ok>

Ever considered being a special constable mate?
 
There are plenty of off topic articles that don't get moved to gen chat, but because it;s me it will get moved... <doh>
 
I was in the army for 5 years,

need to be fitter than you are, probably never get that fit judging by your attitude.

Other recruits are very tough on you, even more so if your a ****, so you're screwed there too.

They only send the best to foreign 'war zones' so same as above.

Hope this was helpful.

Helpful? Not really, calling me a ****, saying i wont be able to get fit because of my attitude? What attitude?

Only 6-7 weeks ago i was struggling to run 1 mile, now i can do 3 miles.

I've improved and am continuing to improve. I think i have the right mentality.
 
Don't join the army Tash. I have respect for anyone who joins (as I do for any human being) but ultimately you're manipulated into taking another's life. I don't want to cause offence to anyone, or argue, but I don't believe anyone should join the army. You get bummed too.

Someone needs to be in the army mate. There's always going to be a religion threatening the peace with it's holy wars and we need to be ready with force.

But all wars aren't holy wars. We've been in war every single year since 1950 I think it is, but noone seems to take this on board. Constant war, 1984. Don't join Tash. Do something loving with your life mate.
