RE: My hopes of one day joining the military.

in #steemit7 years ago

Having spent 26 years in NZ air force I can only agree with your thoughts. I would suggest you try your air force, but I am biased.
You will have fun, meet people that 60 years later you think of as relatives, and have a ton of stories to blog about.

Sort:  

Everyone keeps telling that it is going to be a blast. Looking forward to adding to brothers to the family. Massive respect for the 26 years man

After 18 year you get a "un detected crime" medal as well
its proper name Long Service And Good Conduct, the nick name is truer.

Feeling a pull towards infantry... Do not think I will be spending 18 years in the military to be honest. Who knows maybe I enjoy it more than I think.

Compare what training you can do before you srart, this could help get off the bottom levelas soon as possiable.
What trade will they teach, up to what level, can you do yout time and come out with a usful trade?. The biggest considerationis , the army and marines real livr hurty bullets. The air force say bang bang you are dead, please stay there for a while.

I really would like to stay for a while. I will see how it handles me. Maybe a wife and family will make me consider leaving

Get in, have fun while you are fireproof. Mum and the kids will come by themselves.later

I am just really scared of not meeting her(future wife) while in the military
