It would be satisfying to shoot, plus it looks intimidating and you can claim that your gun is the biggest.
is there a lot of looting as a soldier, like i mean i know its illegal but does that stop guys from taking knives and such as mementos?
Just proves you're the manlier and tougher by being able to hump it with a grin on your face, which a weapon that large would surely provide.Dectomax said:
i feel like i would favor a light rifle. lighter than a hunting rifle, just as accurate.Sabinfrost said:
Wow, I'm very glad you gave me an awesome reason to skip a useless Philosophy class!
=D.
I just wanted to say you know, that I was curious about the questions people would ask and what would be answered. I got sucked in! A lot of the questions asked were questions that I also had.
Personally I know I'd never be able to even pass the fitness requirements. I've always marveled at people who could run a mile in five minutes.
xD.
Hmmm, but I guess I do have a question. How's this medical leave going? Do you have to go home or somewhere else for it? And if so, do you miss your buddies and is it hard falling out of that routine you'd established before?
I also agree with you about grenades. While I've never had to handle a live one or anything of course, I found myself to be incredibly uneasy when I was shown a deactivated one. Just the feel of it made me nauseous.

1.5 miles in 9minutes is good time.FuzzySeduction said:
To put it bluntly. It sucks. You spend a few weeks doing mission specific training and getting ready for a deployment and when I finally got there I was sent back after two weeks. Normally a shrapnel wound wouldn't be enough to warrant a return, but...following my old trait of "unluckiest person ever" It hit muscle, currently on crutches as I can't stand on my left leg.
I spent a week in the military hospital, having my leg put back together again and am currently waiting out a one month leave. It's worse because I can't do anything to take my mind of it. I've just got to sit around and let my leg heal. I get the occasional phone call from the lads, letting me know how they're getting on which makes it worse because I want to be out there with them.
Do most army people hate the Taliban goons, or do you think they are pityable brainwashed people? (only the goons, not the leaders)
Firstly I'd like to thank you for this thread, this has been fascinating. I don't plan to join the military since I'm the worst form of pacifist (I won't fight but if someone else wants to fight good on them) but I still have major respect for you guys, hell of a lot braver than me XD. My question is:
If there was a war that you thought immoral would you still fight in it?

Ah well said :>
Was boot camp as gruelling as in the movies? (like full metal jacket for instance)

It's our job. When you sign your life away on that dotted line, you better mean it. I'm not really in a position to decide whether or not to fight. If we're told to go there, we go.orangeban said:
No and yes. The training is hard, for obvious reasons. You just have to keep going. The training team though, are decent blokes. They help you and they want you pass. If you fuck up you get beasted and you don't do it again. ( Trust me, being made to do 50 press-ups in full gear, in mud is enough to keep everyone on form. )DoctorPhil said:
