The big day
 

I go for my military testing today at 7:30 to see if they'll take me. My biggest problem is going to be the aptitude test, I have about 20 minutes right now to re-teach myself how to do long division and multiplication of fractions and all that crap.

This is too much stuff to worry about recently, with this and then the fact I've been having finals earlier this week, which I didn't do too well on.

Oh well, "have the olympic thought" I guess.

Well good luck.
Who knows ya might even make it up the rank of Cpl. :D

The tests i had to take wasen't that hard but we got further evaluation in the first 2 drilling weeks to see who fits wich department/function.
That was quite tough tho.
Phisical test as well mental/knowledge tests.

Re: The big day
 

you want to go to the military ? I always thought most ppl on bots united are quite reasonable ...

Re: The big day
 

Yes I still fail to see why some people actually want it.

Re: The big day
 

Lol yeah I also don't really get the point either. The goal is to be as dumb as possible at the session:)

Re: The big day
 

i would but i cant since i got this annoying habit of killing people..

Re: The big day
 

In denmark we have invoulentary military service... I'm not sure if it works the same way in other countries but i don't hope so...

I have a mild form of asthma, so they wouldn't let me join the army here... which I'm quite fond of... But it's kinda strange, since I'm in better shape than most in my age...

Well, it went quite good. I scored quite high on the aptitude test and did very well in the interview, so unless the medical results come back with something that I don't know about then they said I should be in. Theres still one or two more things I have to do, such as the fitness test next week, then I'll hear back from them in July or August as to when they'll take me in. I'm really excited about this actually.


And, as those who think its not a bright idea to join the military, you're probably right, it just depends on whose army you join.

I'd never wish to join the US military, for obivous reasons, and if I lived down there and was drafted into it I'd move to Canada.

The Canadian military has an outstanding track record for only joining into things that are reasonable. I have no problems doing peacekeeping, and if my country or one of our allies was ever attacked (think WW1/2, or Sept 11) then I'd be there in a second to help defend.

LOL, you have a period in Brazil when you HAVE to go to the military, but then you may choose to continue or get the f*ck outta there... :D

The problem with the military is not the militaries, the problem with the military is that those who declare a war are never the people who do it.
