Military service - anyone done it?

[Lorenzo_H]

I am heavily considering trying to join the military as an officer. If there is anyone out there who has some advice for me regarding this, or on what the army is like?

I will be eligible to join the US, British or Italian forces, but most likely I would join the US, second option UK.

I would want to join not as a last resort, but mainly for the experience, and also to serve my country (whichever I choose in this case).


On the same topic, I found this article about possible US conscription: http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/11/20...ice/index.html
