Would You Make a Good Soldier?

Nope, I'd be a terrible soldier, mainly because I don't like to comply, so the first guy to get shot would probably be my drill sargent(or whatever you call those).
Warrior? Yes. Soldier? No.
How do I know this? In Basic Training, I was good at what we did, but I just got pissed off at how things went, like the lifestyle in Basic, so I left. Yes, I've heard it's different once you graduate, but I don't feel like going through that shit again. I'd be better off as a guerilla, insurgent, friendly local, or whatever the hell you'd want to call me, just not a rank-and-file soldier.

I'm a careful player and I rarley risk my life or loose control so I would probably be effective if you gave me a shotgun or a sniper if you don't need full sniper training.PeePantz said:
But directly in battle I would be good I would kill the captives, burn hosstile villages, steal stuff I need wouldn't hesitate to tourture someone for info and kill my squad leader if he pissed me off. So I'm yust a standard fucked up soldier.
Hmm, it's a good question really.. With the way I approach things, react, think, teamwork ability and my shooting eye (got some experience with rifles and sniping). I'd say I might make an "okay" soldier, but certainly not more. Would never base that principle on how I do in multiplayer, though. Not the same at all.
I like to think of myself as a team player...
even if I lose a lot because of my team...
but in real life I would not make a good soldier; I'm a pacifist

I like all the people who think they are to rebelious to be in the army.. Trust me, the first time you try to rebel against your CO, you will be punished - not by the CO, but by your platoon.
You will be beaten, you will be left out, you will be locked out in the cold naked. Thats just the way it is in the army, one man slip ups the whole platoon gets punished.
I know this, i was a soldier before my back whent out, and i have participated in punishing that one guy who thought himself superior for the group. (We hang him upside down by his feet naked outside in the middle of the danish winter, after that he felt back in line)

I'm a great team leader any plan I make works out great if not perfect I mean if it works for black ops it can work in real life.
I'm a team player, but when not given orders I'm just a bit of a shock trooper. I'll just shoot whatever is on the opposing team without being particularly wily or cunning. I'd duck in and out of cover, toss grenades, etc. While I have a high amount of deaths I usually have a high amount of kills. Also, given the opportunity I will try take out large groups of enemies with explosives or anything that can kill more than one person at once.
Unless I go through basic training to build up physical and emotional strength and endurance, I'd be a horrible, horrible soldier.
Takes a lot of training before someone could be considered a good soldier but from personal experience I can say that most important aspect for any soldier is situational awareness. When I was training my grunts, it was easy to see who had the mind on the task and who was just blindly running along. I wasn't much of a teamplayer myself as if I was given a task, I usually tended to tunnelvision. Which is why in the end I was given a position in the unit where I could go along with my own wits: a sniper squad leader.
Exactly the right job for me as my most important task was to observe the battle and decide where we would thin the enemy line for a punch-through so at all times I had to have a full awareness of the battlefield.
And yes regular grunts need to follow the orders almost blindly because there's no way they can see the big picture. That's what us spooks are for.

I'd probably be a less-than-average soldier, as in I wouldn't have a problem shooting a guy or anything, but I'm not particularly strong, and I haven't had any experience firing a gun.
I'd only join the army if they called in a WW1 style "every able bodied man should join the army" recruitment thing in.

I would be a very dead soldier if I were to fight the way I play online. Even though I listen to the team leader, I like to run around and knife people with no regard towards my safety. In real life, though, I believe I would be a pretty good soldier, especially when it comes to defending a territory.
