[QUOTE=Sickle;34411210]Why is the second radio button 'No, I'm a fag'. It's more like, 'No, I possess a fucking brain'.

Okay who bumped this thread? Hmmm aside from that. I am thinking of joining the airforce but from what I've heard the pay sucks ass and I'm better off being a normal pilot. Can't blame the country.Its not even in a war

I want to join the Air Force when I am done University.

[QUOTE=jbthekid;34409562]If you're looking for something with less danger, why do you want to join the military?[/QUOTE] Well, I feel I want to help people in a way that'll really matter, but I worry I my incompetence may some day get someone seriously hurt. So I figure, if I'm in a less dangerous situation, there's less chance that'd happen. I can help the people and my country with less risk I'd only end up wounding them if I spend most of my time on a barracks watching the area. Though the Royal Navy doesn't sound too bad. I'll think about whether it's the kind of job I'd want to do and get back to it.

I'm planning to follow in my Dads footsteps and become a dog handler or a tank driver.

[QUOTE=:v:;34422423]I'm planning to follow in my Dads footsteps and become a dog handler or a tank driver.[/QUOTE] Tank driver would be a boring ass job. Trust me. Problem is, there is just a general MOS for tank crewmen.

I'm not getting any replies in the questions section, but for the Canadian Air force do you need 20/20?

Wow, this thread is still alive. Anyways, I finished my time in the Norwegian Army and it was worth it.

snip, old thread, didn't actually notice
