Can you join the army?

[Henrywrites]

I just remembered few months ago when my uncle called me and asked if I should be joining the army soon. I laughed and told him that I can't process my mind around hearing gunshots always. Do you have plans to join the army, if you get the chance?

 

[Grungie]

There’s other branches to join

 

[Demon_Skeith]

I could but I refuse, no one ever seems to come back the same.

It wouldn't interest me, luckily it's not mandatory in the UK.

I am not interested in joining the army because I am not interested in fighting in a war.

Just because you joined the army doesn’t mean you go to war. It depends on your job.

I weigh about 110 pounds so I believe that I'm barred from it.

But one have to be agile and fit plus you should know how to handle a riffle.

You must not know the requirements for this stuff.

I had given it some thought about joining the army when I was in high school. However, I didn't do it because I had other aspirations when I was in high school so it never panned out. I think I would be too old and too out of shape now to do it.

Faaaaar more volunteers who are fitter and more motivated than me lined up for recruitment in a country of a billion. If they run out and we're getting invaded like ukraine sure I'd sign up. But otherwise I'd prefer to just do backend stuff.

I see they have IT roles etc here in my Country

They give a fitness test its 6 months in HQ base once you pass it you will be given to the career or job you applied for for example IT support or Network Engineer

Yeah, the US military is huge in IT, and the vast majority of military jobs are desk jobs and almost never touch a gun. So your chances of getting killed in combat are pretty low unless you explicitly sign up for a combat job.

I would gladly join the Navy. If I have the chance to do so right now, I'm signing up for it.

I have a friend that is into the army.

You can hit the gym and cut down on the weight to be eligible lol

I too wiped my ass yesterday.

I wanted to out of High School but was basically blind before my Lasix and that was a DQ at the time. I think my vision was around 20/600. My lack of urge to rush my Lasix surgery and stuff made me rethink the next 4 years and I choose a different route.

Reread what I posted. I said 110 pounds, that is underweight. The average human weighs 150-190 pounds. If I tried to lose weight I'd end up in the hospital.

Oh my! I was seeing 210 when I read that.. Damn it. It looks like I would be needing a reading glasses.
