Good luck out there Strife, I was thinking of joining the Navy to pay for uni courses. Then I found out I didn't have to pay student fees.

Its a pretty monumental decision and I respect you a lot for doing it. For me it took a few months of consideration and research to see if it was right for me.

Dammit, I really wanted to fire those prototype railguns.

I can't say I'm to found of war, but good luck Strife. I hope nobody kills you.

You'll still be posting regularly right?
Make sure we can recognize you Strife.  I want to turn on CNN and see a tank stenciled with a giant ASCII Dwarf.  And lots of red ² and ≈.

Strike confusion, and later fear, into your enemies hearts.
This.

I'll keep posting for now, but they'll probably be a sixteen week dry spell while I go to basic and advance training.

I don't think too much of being in the army will be all that dramatic or exciting.  Most of it will just be really hard work.

Hey, all jobs are really hard work. At least in the military, you can act like it's dramatic.
Yeah, 'twas my point.

Yeah, war is all fun and games, until someone loses an eye.

Keep safe, strife, and try to miss a lot.

For what it's worth from a total stranger, best of luck to you. And remeber two things:

1) Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.
2) Stencil little ASCII Dwarves on each of your Grenades and shells, just to brighten their ever shortening day.

Oh. My. God.

Sorry to derail this thread just a little, but Strife, I've figured out how to get insurgents out of their caves and you must bring this to the attention of your offices in charge as soon as you can.

Cats! Just send them cats. Soon the cats will multiply beyond there control, and then they'll be sitting ducks which are easy to locate.

And then you could send them cats via a cat cannon.

Because that's how things work in real life isn't it?

Well, good luck, rock hard, be careful, don't die. Tell if you do end up behind a desk. Keep your head down in Basic.

Well, you joined the Army...

I wish you best of luck.
Just give a shout when you're back okay?
At least it ain't the UN Peacekeepers  :P
And I was sort of hoping you could have gotten into West Point.

As a pacifist and someone who has a lot of trouble understanding why anyone would join a war, I wish you luck and hope you don't need to kill anyone.

Incidentally, I have exactly 132 days of civil service left (out of 362), which was the option to joining the Finnish Defence Force. Apart from going to jail for 6 months.
