Yea, was in for about 4 years, i left 1.5 years ago because of numerous reasons.

i had a good time, got some travel under my belt. was a challenger 2 main battle tank driver/gunner/loader and it was the biggest buzz of my life.

dont join the Army if your hearts not in it, like for a job or something, i think to be a good soldier your heart must be set in doing so, else its not for you.

I would like to have stayed, but there is bigger and better things in civvy street, and its a whole different ball game.

have to agree its soo easy to get in the shit in the army, i was forever in the shit, used to get absolute mental kickings for making the slightest of mistakes, getting fined left, right and centre, and what pissed me off the most is there are alot of backstabbers who will drop you in the shit at a drop of a hat if they dont like ya, or to brown nose, gain rank.

To be honest mate, lots of tossers in the army, but i have also found mates for life, and they become your best buddies!!


another thing, if i was to join up again, i would of gone into a trade, ie REME, Engineers, Signals, as there is no jobs in civvy street running around with a rifle, or driving a mahoosive tank!!

what ever you do, have a serious think of what you are doing

Cheers

Ben
