For the last six months now I have been seriously considering joining the army. One of my mates joined up and has gave me nothing but good feedback.
So today I finally put my mind to rest and went to an army recruitment centre and it's just blew me away. If you would have asked me a couple of years ago if i would have joined i would have straight away said no. But after hearing what is on offer and the kind of things you can get upto.
The funny thing is, is isn't all about blood and guts which is rather suprising.
You can do a whole range of things while your there, sports, education, trips away (ski-ing, canoeing, hang gliding) ... even down to little things like driving tests so if you decide to leave the army you have qualifications of which to fall back upon.
Plus I'm rather sad when it comes to knowing the names of nearly every weapon used worldwide in any army. So if all goes well, i may be joining the army in the not to distant future. Which infantry i do not yet know.
