What does a Military do?

you can teach yourself smoking in there, driving big tracks and meet a lot of nice people and jerks

damn that's terrible, funny that in 2016 some countries still force their citizens to enlist in the military. so much for democracy...

good luck, just think it will be over soon.

It depends a lot. Not even only by country, but even in the same country, different companies or whatever they're called, units? have different stuff going on. I've never been there because it's optional for women and I didn't want, but hanging out with dudes you learn to know that there are some they fear, some they like because it's chill, and some that many actually want to join because of the hardcore discipline.

Bump!

It depends on the country. In my country (Greece), it's compulsory to go to the army. So, I joined the navy for 1 year and it was always about doing shitty chores for the superiors and guarding the watchtowers. In other countries, army may include war too. But you'll always have to do chores and guard watchtowers. :/

A nation that sends soldiers to a foreign country and pew pew for "X" reason.

Well at my country all males have to serve in the army atm for a year (used to be more) not sure if your country would be the same but my experience was that it boring cause

You dont really do any training which might be cool except shoot 10 bullets once or twice the week , do parades , clean your weapon , and getting long lectures about stuff and there are some war excercises but trust me its nothing like what you see at the movies its like run in a line doing rolls

You just guard stuff , there are some posts with 24h guarding so for 6 or 8 hours through out the day depending on the post you have to show up and guard the place its not interesting plus the bad thing is when you get guard duty you always have to guard 2 hours at night it messes with sleep and you can get tired

You clean stuff i mean everything thats the real training you clean floords indoors and outdoors you wash plates anyway any that needs cleaning you clean and you carry stuff everyday from point a to point b sometimes the next day you take things from point b back to point a because there was a misunderstanding just to repeat the next day again from a to b and you think you live in a bad comedy and you clean your shoes omg them shoes you can get punished for having slightly dirty shoes

You get punished for the stupidest reason ever and the punishment is that you cant get out of camp to clarify a litle everyday a certain amount of soldiers are picked to do some duties the rest just present themselves at the morning training/ washing / carrying then they go out to come back at night to sleep or if their home is near they sleep at their house come back at morning

Anyway dont worry time flies and it will be over soon but the best part comes now

Once its over you will leave to continue your real life with a few close friends and maybe really good friends plus its time you meet a guy through work or mutual friend or whatever the army and its funny stories its a way for males to bond over a beer , its like school when you were at school you wanted to be over and now its a fun memory but you wouldnt go back either

my advice is to get a few padlocks cause for some reason people in army steal dont get much civilian clothes you will regret it and build up some patience try and let most things go and you will be fine

edit forgot to say that your computer knowledge can get you an office duty and avoid everything but dont get excited cause according to army computer knwoledge means i tries to hit it with a hammer and shoot it but i cant turn it on can you? omg you started it what is that you did a button you said can you also type stuff omg you are clever you are hired so anyone can get the job

my experience was i became a cook they asked me if i ever cooked i said lol yes i spent my entire army time everyday preparing food with other cooks and i was 1 day in the army cooking for the evening and 2 days home playing videogames

if you want to play videogames buy a portable console with a nice long game it helps , i had a nintedo ds with a pokemon and ff4 i finished ff4 but you can never finish pokemon :D

Q. What does a military do?

A. Kill people and break things.

You know sometimes you just gotta do stuff in life that's gonna be crap, some alot more then others.
So many these days they will never get to do the job they wanted and take anything to survive.

where are you from? military tasks varies A LOT from country to country. if you are from brazil or any south american army, you can add me to chat about it. don't be depressed. I'm pretty sure that it will be a unique experience in your life. just be sure that you wanna dive in to have full experience. I'm a lawyer and I was studying lawyer school when I was there... didn't use any of laws knowledge there, but I also didn't forgot them.

They waste taxpayers' money.

Thanks for the giveaways. :)

I don't know about the military but in the navy they seem to sing and dance a lot! Bump ^^
