A few questions to the vets out there. What are the chances of someone with intelligence seeing action? I really dont want to fight and id rather do something technical like computer analyst or mechanic. If I get those positions what are the chances they will give me an M16 in a war and throw me in the trenches? I ask this here because recruiters I hear will sing a nice song to you. I want honest to goodness truth. Thanks.

Ah, the Army. Refuge for those who fail to make an impact in the world. Send us a postcard from whichever oilwell CEO Sam sends you to guard.

I guess your right, metal. One stupid decision made by a president means that all armys are dumb. Hell, I bet those US soldier like killing people and watching their friends being blown up. Assumptions dont work very well. I can make an assumption too! I bet you call the police "pigs"! And when something goes wrong their your best friend in the whole wide world. :rolleyes: Don't join NTKB! They will turn you into a vicous killer that is obviously a lesser human being that everyone else.

Yea my experiances with people high up in the army has left me with that impression. When I did a show in Larkhill there were a few good examples. My favourite bit of that weekend was the guy in charge giving the soldiers a dresing down, he must have been to a man management course "Now lads that was good ... however " I dunno just made me laugh esp as everyones impression is of a officer shouting at the troops. Oh that and the fact that our medieval gun(that I was firing) made a bigger bang than their 105

Um... I seem to recall hearing somewhere that complaints against recruiters are taken very seriously (i.e. if they mislead you or tell you to lie about medical conditions they can get into all kinds of trouble).

Maybe you should go talk to one about what it is you see yourself doing. You don't have to join on the spot, do you? Your chances of ending up fighting probably have a lot to do with exactly what technical job you end up doing (i.e. where you're doing it) so again, talk to someone who knows.

I get the feeling that being in the Army could involve an awful lot of taking orders (literally) from people you despise/know to be stupider than yourself. That'd be the main problem I'd have with it.
