Would You Make a Good Soldier?

[zega frega omega]

Yes, as far as being loyal and understanding tasks to carry out or following orders, I would be a great soldier. However, under fire, I would probably cry. I'm not in great shape either, but hey, that's what boot camp is for, right?

 

[Chefodeath]

I'd probably kill a good number dropping grenades on my own teamates.

 

[LittleChone]

My brother's in the army and he's a good soldier.
I think I can live without being in the military.

 

[higgs20]

Doubtful, since I don't play multiplayer online shooters. That, and I'm not so good at blindly following morally questionable orders.

how do you know if you don't give it a chance, you might be passing up an exiting career in some kind of horrific 'sanitation' squad.

 

[Dana22]

I made a good soldier, but not anymore.

 

[Dooley]

Releasing videos of the military performing outright crimes against humanity, on the payroll of the people.
Free Bradley Manning.

 

[Nexoram]

No, probably not. I would be good as cannon fodder though. But at least there won't be any commandos or cheap tactics.

 

[AWhite107]

i would make a good soldier based on how i play multiplayer games. however, i went with the air force instead and make a good airman.

 

[tsb247]

I'm not sure. I good at thinking my way through situations, and I am decent behind a rifle. Then again, there is far more to being a soldier than just being able to shoot.

I'm gonna have to say, "Undecided," because I'm sure I could be... With all of the proper training of course.

Also, I always cheer the underdogs. Kind & Naïve Half-Orcs/Orcs sound a whole lot more interesting than the usual "Orcs are bad, they make good fodder" type of story. I haven't read a good Orc story since R.A. Salvatore's King Obould Many-Arrows established the first diplomatically and economically stable Orc State.

One of the last D&D games I DMed I had my players branded as outlaws and hunted all over the kingdom for their unprovoked slaughter of a village of orcs and as they were all 'good' aligned, I stripped them of any alignment dependent powers. Hell, I kept giving them clues that ther weren't walking into the average 'shitpit' orc encampment.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

I'd make a piss poor soldier. The Australian Army eventually came to this conclusion after trying to recruit me and had me sit a few psych evals.

Would you be willing to PM me your DM stories? Or make a story thread if it's too large to tell in a PM? I want to know what happened in this campaign!

Yup.

There's plenty of WALKING to be done as well!

If you're bad at walking really long stretches and during difficult conditions (be it extreme heat or cold) and while you're dead tired at the same time, then you're pretty much a failure at what 95 percent of the soldiers profession is all about. XD

 

[Sacman]

Well let's see here...
I only really play TF2, as Huntsman sniper... and my strategy is to stand right behind the line using other people as meat shields and runaway whenever someone looks at me funny...
Well I guess I would stay alive... I doubt I would be a good soldier...<.<

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

Yes. If by soldier you mean unrepentant coward..

 

[emeraldrafael]

Probably not in open battle. I'd make a good guerrilla fighter, thats been pretty much proven by the little shooting games we do at my school. As long as I had my friends as my allies.

Besides, my kill to death ratio rests at a comfortable .832, mainly cause I dont take the insane risks others take. My teams create a covering fire of machine gun and sniper rounds that keeps me well protected. Most of the kills I've suffered were for a friend in terms of a grenade or a sniper shot that I walked into or new was going to happen.

But I dont follow rules too well. I do my own thing within the confines of them, so I wouldnt do well if i were under the commands of someone.

 

[Grubnar]

It depends.

My fighting ability is not so great. But my teamworking skills are very good.

 

[Carlston]

I'm a shitty FPS shooter cause I believed in tactics, room clearing ideals ect before I joined the military... when I did get into such training I did really well in the rl application but after boot camp and your training your not gonna behave like a FPS multiplayer type mostly because you learn something very important...

You have a mission, you can't complete it dead, and if you act stupid your not only going to get yourself killed but your comrades who depend on you.

 

[Grimsinger]

Id be just awful. I'm one of those skinny art school types who, while being physically fit, can't imagine carting around that huge ass backpack, much less making it through basic training. Also, i have a sever allergy to bullets, so there's that too.

 

[C95J]

No one here who hasn't been in the army would be a good soldier, sorry but that is a fact.

Although I am pretty awesome on Call of Duty so it's all good
