there's quite a few vets on this board, the ones that aren't could've been if they chose too i believe, it takes a certain type of person/mindset to be in the miltary, same as what we're all doing with the bb/pl/other lifestyle.
Absolutely agree. I wasn't wanted for medical reasons but I could have lied about it I guess. It's a regret of mine for sure.
Reality though, anyone who knows me, knows I would be a nightmare in uniform. I don't follow orders so well.
Easily the best and easiest choice ive ever made! A lot late but ull never be at that pinnacle again, once u hit civy life it aint the same even when u work for them, u miss it, and hate it all at the same time hahathere's quite a few vets on this board, the ones that aren't could've been if they chose too i believe, it takes a certain type of person/mindset to be in the miltary, same as what we're all doing with the bb/pl/other lifestyle.

Cyprus? 10charI was stationed on an island. Territory split with another country, known to house some pretty horrible people. Short stuffed and overworked as always. One of our duties was to run patrols along a huge cliff face. This was because there were citizens of said country trying to make their way to us. They would swim covered in motor oil(which was supposed to deter sharks from attacking) for about 20 miles just to cling on to the face of a giant cliff side and pretty much scream for help. Some patrols units did not give a single ****. But, a task was given and it was our duty to aid in the event we heard or saw somthing. In a 9 month span, I couldn't count on my hands and toes how many people were reported. Clinging on for life, covered in oil, freezing, starving, and ready to either give up or start fresh in new country.
I also caught a Lt Colonel attempting to sneak in a full sized homemade samurai sword from carbon steel. The area already required too secret clearance, needless to say,samurai swords are a nogo. When confronted, she had no problem looking me in the eye and first denying everything, followed by using her rank as a threat to make my life hell. No, you're not taking this samurai sword into a prison. That's re tah ded
