Im considering it - again.
Any insight into life in the army from people who have actually served will be much appreciated, regardless of country. I'd rather not have politics brought into it by people who have never served. Im hoping to join up as an engineer of some sort (although the actual job will be limited by my colour blindness), civilian life just isn't doing it for me. I'd like a job where i can make a difference. Is the army likely to be a good choice?
I spent a lot of time avoiding being drafted (my knees would never have made it through), and you want to volunteer?!?!?! :-D
Seriously, though, If you feel like it then do it. You'll have plenty of time for regret later. On the other hand, you live in a country where the army actually risks getting involved in fighting. If you're not prepared to kill or get killed, then you should probably stay away.
