Its about time i replied after reading all this, but to see people different opinions on a Military career is interesting, but all this Bark and no bite about the Armed forces being a bad place is something that is understandable, but to an extent. I also need to mention that i am with the ATC (Air training corps) and its normally best if i get training down if i do ever turn towards a Military career.
You have to also remember that this is an Optional career choice if my current one is either obstructed and/or isn't really "Clicking in". I understand that i am 16, but doesn't mean that i will drop everything and halt my eduction to pick up a firearm and open fire in the distance.
But what is not appreciated is that some are looking at a Military career as the taboo of the world. And one thing that is clear for me is that as long as there is an option for me to take it, it will be stuck in my head to either go or not until I've walked up into that recruitment office and signed the papers. But that doesn't mean i will.
I thank you for the civil discussions from some, but it seems hostilities of views and suspicions from others could turn this thread into something i never wished it to be.
I'd like a request to lock this thread for the better respect of others.
