You're better off with a good bankie and some Battlefield / COD, thats what those games are for - taking war out of reality and into a virtual world. I don't know how anyone who watches vids of the Syrian war can think its romantic!
There's got to be something else you can do...
Eish....I surrender

Thanks man sorry I had a rant. I already have a sponsor and my passport I am waiting on 3 weeks. I phoned them and Its on the move. This is what I think I will be good at.Tokai SA wrote:Well, if you've made your mind up then go for it with all your passion and you'll succeed...don't procrastinate, do it today.Daniel Stuart wrote: Look now I am getting annoyed. It wasn't the spur of the moment thing. I have been thinking about it for a long time now. I know plenty about the war and about a soldiers life in the middle east. I know there is a chance I might die but there is always a chance especially in this country you might die even more of a horrible death.
I wasn't stoned when I decided to do this. I am battling to get another job here. I don't want to work my ass off and never see whats out there.
I had my friends sister beg me not to go. I've had friends beg me. I know its not a game. I know its shit. I might end up shooting a kid and have to live with that. I might have my friends die in front of me. I could be lying in the dirt bleeding to death. But I have the warriors spirit. An office job scares the crap out of me. A job where you get up everyday drive to work doesn't appeal to me. It depresses me. I don't fit in with the civi world. I might just excel at this. Might open a lot of doors for me.
I spoke to an ex us marine tonight. He said if it wasn't for the army he would have nothing. and that hit close to home. Jobs are hard to get in this economy. And I will be earning a lot per year. More than I would at a normal job.
I thought about it extensively. I made up my mind. War is shit I know. But this is something I really want to do. Hardest choice in my life to make.
And thats all I am going to say now.
On a side note. Discovery doesn't show you the true horror of war. I have seen the true face of war and the stuff you see on tv is very censored. You can see real footage on youtube. Go look for syrian vids.
All the best.
nah its not what it use to be and besides I don't get along to well with afrikaans chaps. Besides I'm looking to stay in england anyway.Ray wrote: Why dont you join the army here?
No no a week ago I gave it up. Just saying a week ago I was still on it ? I was smoking everyday since end of feb. I would wake up feeling stoned.Shibbibilybob wrote:This part makes little sense to me. A week is a very very short period of time.Daniel Stuart wrote:
Yip. A week ago I was battling with addiction(weed) And it took all my motivation away.
Exactly. I might end up joining the royal navy first and go from there. Just want to find out which is easier to get a foot hold there.ShreddySmurf wrote:Just checked online quick. Look here https://pdevportal.co.uk/assets/upload/ckfiles/kayak/files/RM_Fitness_Tests.pdfflatfourfan wrote:
I think that is full loaded and kitted out.
We used to do 5km fully loaded in under 25min on a bad day. *caffs, when I wasn't so fat*
So there is a BFT (Basic Fitness Test) which is what Daniel was talking about, and it doesn't involve any load. Doesn't look too tough. In fact, none of the stuff in there looks particularly challenging for the average oke who is in reasonable shape...
Interesting stuff. Now I need to get back to work! ?
Yip I know. But you need to run 1.4km in 12 minutes and straight after that you need to run 2.4km in 20 I think.Giggsy wrote:I think 4kms would be the warm-up. At 3am. Through mud with 25kgs on your back.Daniel Stuart wrote: I will. As for the physical training I love pushing myself like that. I ran 4kms the other day threw up but I felt good afterwards.
Yip. A week ago I was battling with addiction(weed) And it took all my motivation away. I can't get a job in this country that I want to do. And Going to england will be such an opportunity. My goal is the sas in a few years time then after that a high profile body guard.flatfourfan wrote: ^^^^ like I said..........a lot of laaaities got direction from it.

Yip I know. That is why I am training. I am going to do this. ?IceCreamMan wrote:Any injury an they ship you out home an u need to reapplysingemonkey wrote: But still bear Reinhard's advice in mind. There are a lot of injuries in any basic training program.
