Have you serve in the Armed Forces?
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.
It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

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

You no longer wish to go to RMA Sandhurst?

So far I am getting the grades but its whether i want to do that or follow my childhood dream of becoming a Palaeontologist.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb...

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.
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
