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.

I seem to recall a friends elder brother having to run a certain number of miles/km (the distance I cant quite recall im afriad) wearing so much in weight of equipment in less than 11 minutes I believe? He nailed it on his second attempt.

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

Alot of troops are stationed out in Germany to recieve training, a couple of the lads I went school with went there around 2006 and left to go to Afghanistan 2008 If i remember correctly

What are the other recruits like?

Can't help you there really, although my mates brother came back a lot more quiet and laid back. I guess thats the Discipline

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 ******s like Edge posting their racist and offensive comments on it. <ok>

Good luck anywho.
 
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.

At the end of the day , we would find that USA created Al Qaeda for example , and only have themselves to blame for wars and suicide bombings. To be perfectly honest , I hate to say it , but the corrupt governments we have need Al Qaeda and all these taliban groups. Just so they have an excuse to occupy territories in the middle east for oil. It's disgusting how many innocent British and American soldiers are killed for absolutely no reason. Sent there to fight and to fight for what? To protect the wealth of the elite in this world.

End of mini rant.

Actually, your the guys who always get's involved in other's people's affairs, hence why you USA, Isreal are probably the three most hated countries in the world. You don't think, if you bomb a guys country, destroy his home, kill his kin, he is going say ok my friend, lets go to the pub together, i'll buy you a drink<laugh> think, i know your a little pussycat anyway. Imagine if that happened to you. Spastic
 
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.

It seems like a good choice to me. This country is going down the crapper, the only job i'll get is a ****ty minimum wage one, i'll never get a girlfriend because i'm not attracted, Newcastle United is ****ing it's own arse, there's nothing for me here.

I want some excitement. As much as i enjoy getting some money in my bank i sometimes find the typical 9-5 office jobs boring.
 
And some people cry over a single building collapsing, (which there government probably did aswell) and you go and destroy a whole country, you ******s seriously compare that?<laugh>
 
HEY Heavy metal toon, you need to be alot fitter. i havent been in army but did the fitness test for marines, i had to train for 1 1\2 months solid, i havent been jogging for 4 months but i could be 3 miles in under 40minutes easy if i went tonight, and if i went tomorrow night again i would do under 35, and withing week doing 7 minute miles. iwork at six month cycles, (base my philosophy on hatton) six month train hard gym and six month chill and eat mccoys salt and vinegar all day.


i don know what its like but reason i didnt join was fear or discrimination, but i think my fears were most defo unfounded.

If we didn't fight then they'd invade our land and take us over.

The Muslim's religion believe it's ok to terrorize and kill people if they don't believe in allah, and if they bomb a building and die in the process they get rewarded with enough **** to last them eternity.
 
This is why i don't comment/speak much, can't be bothered with this sh...it, and i don't like you cu...nts anyways, so get the fu...ck off.

If you hadn't pissed them all off seven years ago the Middle East would probably be a peaceful region now.

I think if your going to be shooting people you'l need a bit confidence.

You're such a ****ing moron. How are you not banned yet?

Do you really believe that Tash? Have you been blindened by the propaganda? Take over our land and invade us?

I feel sorry for you if you believe that kind of bollocks. And to generalize as you just did about Islam is little short of a disgrace as Islam is a peaceful religion , and about 1% of these talibani ****s who claim to be fighting in the name of God suddenly represent every Muslim? I think 99% of the Muslims that you will find will heavily condemn what these bastards do.

Just goes on to say that when you create a monster , give it weapons and then tell it to **** off , it might come back to bite you in the arse.

Terrorism has no religion.

What is staggering is that we are supporting the Libyan rebels, and guess who they are? Guess who we're training up and supplying arms too? Al Qaeda. You couldn't make this up. Those that were allegedly responsible for 9/11 and 7/7 are now our allies. This is mainstream news and yet noone seems to care or mention it. Great men die every day, on the Iraqi side and the British side and for what? Phony wars so that the big corporations can get their hands on even more money and oil.

Don't be a part of it. As I said, do something you enjoy or something loving. I know that I would rather do some volunteer work, read, see friends, better myself spirituality and mentally and collect the dole (as i have done in-between jobs in the past) than join a killing corporation.

We're so lucky to be born over here. Open your eyes, there is so much out there.
