Have you serve in the Armed Forces?

[Duke Malcolm]

I have recently decided that I might become an officer in Her Majesty's Armed Forces, preferably the Royal Armoured Corps, although in which regiment I end up I have no clue.
I was wondering how many here have served in the Armed Forces, and in which branches.

[King Henry V]

I think there was thread in the backroom about this a couple of weeks ago.

[TheSilverKnight]

I've also been thinking of joining as in officer in Her Majesty's Army, preferrably infantry corps. Iuno if I should tho. :bow:

EDIT:: wow I was forced to delete my message that was against Bush...pretty sad

Here it is: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=51693. Personally I think that serving Queen and country does not include risking my life going to some God forsaken hell hole just so that some foreign country can be "free".

You no longer wish to go to RMA Sandhurst?

[Mount Suribachi]

No, stupid asthma :embarassed:

[King Henry V]

Perhaps, I don't really know yet. My parents still want me to go to two universities to study two degrees. Since I will finish school completely in 3 years time, I will be 17 and to young to go to somewhere like Oxford, but I might go to Geneva University to study accountancy/economics, then Oxford for history.

[Duke Malcolm]

I hope to study physics in Cambridge before going to Sandhurst. I shall have finished school in 2 years at 17, but didn't realise that it was too young...

[King Henry V]

I don't know wether one would be allowed to live independantly at 17.

[Duke Malcolm]

In the United Kingdom, one can live independently at 16, never mind 17.

I still don't know. It would be easier for me with an accountant's degree should my career as an actor, politician (they're both the same ~;) ) or writer fails. Accountants are paid an absurd amount of money in Swizerland, which is where I would like to live in comfort. As a true expatriot, I love my country from afar, but I don't necessarily want to live there on without having a nice place in the country and somewhere in town.

[Ronin]

won´t serve unless someone tries to invade or something...

so....not bloody likely ~D

[SwordsMaster]

Nope, tried to join the Airforce Cadet Academy last February but failed the maths test.... I was asked about stuff I didn't know existed....

Passed the physical tests perfectly though, they even offered me joining the Marines (as an intermediate step for the Green Berets), but I refused. I want POWER and obedience. ~D

I'm considering joining the Royal Guards when I get my degree though

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

I might join the Bundeswher, reserves or regulars yet to be decided. Its actually not bad in Germany, aside from the fact you're drilled and trained to the best in Europe, aside from maybe Britain, and that can be demanding.

Her Majesty's Forces always provide, with a handsome pay-packet of 50,000 in 11 years

[Voigtkampf]

Served my time as a marine. Wanted to enlist into navy and travel the world.

But sleeping with so many men is just not my thing. ~;)

[Templar Knight]

Well I did get £700 after field training with the TA up in Benbecula: Between North Uist and South Uist.

No maybe about it ~;) Seriously though, from what I recall of the Bundeswher boys they were always tough and fit as anything and a great bunch too. Something about Germany just produces tough soldiers, regardless of regime.

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

I can always join the RCPD. Royal Canadian Pitchfork Division. ~D

EDIT: Its Bavaria. We own those sissy Northerners. ~D

[Krusader]

Conscripted into the Royal Norwegian Air Force - Anti-Aircraft Artillery.

Was transfered from Anti-Air to Logistics at a isolated mountain base later due to poor health.

One person made a political statement in this thread. That is a no-no here. A big huge huger than huge no-no. Let there not be a second.

No politics or religion in the Frontroom. None. Nyet. Nada.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

You just had to point out the Marines are part of the Navy didnt you ~D

Just say it's me, and tell me what was political. ~;)

[Productivity]

No - I put considering even though I'm not too signify that I would if I could but a coordination issue bars me from it.

[Divinus Arma]

I decided not to vote because I am A U.S. Marine, rather than serving in the "Navy-Marines". I'll ignore the technical relationship. Our Marine Corps is an entity onto itself unlike the Marines of other countries. :duel:

Edit: Well, if Gawain can do it I guess I can too. :army:

[Taurus]

Nope sorry I have not served in any of the Armed forces. I don't think I will either to be honest but I am considering a career in law enforcement. :bow:

[Ser Clegane]

I did not serve in the army - I served for 6 1/2 years (this was not full-time , only on weekends) in some odd civil protection unit instead...

[The Stranger]

i might join the army, but i dont know if it will be good. i have a kinda problem with authority

I am considering serving in the RAF as a pilot for Hercules's.
So far I am getting the grades but its whether i want to do that or follow my childhood dream of becoming a Palaeontologist.

Of course you know (assuming you get accepted and pass basic flying training) that you will have no input whatsoever on whether you get streamed onto jets or multi-engined, let alone the specific aircraft.
