[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;49616750]I want to make a difference[/QUOTE] Peace corps UN Red Cross Any humanitarian aid company or organization. By joining special forces you're basically your government's go-to insurgency exterminator, you won't be handing out supplies to oppressed villages you'll probably be in the shit knocking rebels left and right. I'm not sure what Swedish SOG does but SOG inclines me to believe you'll be doing a lot of dirty fighting from the darkness. I'm just trying to tell you that combat detail might not be for you, I don't want to see you messed up physically or mentally but I'm not in any power to stop you, I'm just worried for you.

Who the hell said I'm joining the special forces? SAF stands for Swedish Armed Forces.

I must have misread and got acronyms confused somewhere, my bad.

all this military talk makes me wonder if I should pilot aircraft, join USAF's TACP division, which is basically one of their JTAC ground forces, be an on-base MP, or be an avionics engineer. [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] That is if I consider going to the USAF to begin with or go to college.

Guard duty isn't that bad, at-least if you're alone in a tower or something you can have a wank or whatever. [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] Or chain smoke [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] The nickname for Avionics tech's here is Queer Trader.

TACP doesn't sound too bad for me if I didn't have a choice; you're on the side-lines on a battlefield either doing over-watch for the Army and Marines or working the equipment out to assist CAS from what I heard. [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] Oh, they even give credit towards an information systems technology degree.

I've got a funny story from when my high school's administrator was in college and going with his professor to drop off names of students at a draft office to let them know they were in college and couldn't be drafted. So my admin goes up to a recruiter and he basically tells him "I'll only sign up if I can be a pilot" And the recruiter looks at him, and tells him "Get the fuck out of here." Vietnam was weird. [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] He also had an uncle who was a B-25 pilot in the pacific theater during WW2 and his experience as the pilot made him never want to fly on any aircraft ever again. According to his uncle it shook like an Earthquake almost the entire flight time and flying it in the dark was terrifying. [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] And then he also knew this guy from his high school who became an F-4 Phantom pilot in Vietnam who flew over 400 sorties and then eventually got shot down not by a rocket, not by a anti-aircraft gun, but from a Vietcong with an AK-47 who decided to spray bullets in his general direction

[QUOTE=gtanoofa;49617755]it is if you have to wake up after 2 hours of sleep at 2 am, guard for 3 hours and then sleep for 1 more hour, then the speakers play the waking up music and then you have to go to formation with all the other platoons, wait for your asshole captain to tell you what you're gonna do and then be a total wreck for he rest of the day trying to stay awake cause it's not allowed to sleep infront of your superiors.[/QUOTE] A lot of the time I just didn't sleep at all period, ever since then my sleeping schedule has been really weird. Like falling asleep and waking up really early.

My grandfather was a Marine in the pacific during WW2 also and recently he told me a lot of neat stories about his service, to give a quick rundown: -Japanese soldiers had a distinct smell, he and some of his buddies were walking through a village and got a strong smell of Japanese soldiers hiding in one of the buildings, so they walked back to base and came back with a larger force to clear them out. -He was angry at Commanders for sending in the 5th and 6th Marines to land first on Iwo Jima instead of his regiment because the 5th and 6th were all fresh recruits out of training who had no experience fighting the Japanese and would most likely get ripped apart on the beach. -He and his buddies stole the Army's kitchen on Guadalcanal. -He had a girlfriend in New Zealand he met while marching and he would sneak off base to visit her and get a real non-ration meal. -He watched his Captain get blown up on Kwajalein and helped others write the letter home to his family. -He slept on the beaches a lot after the islands were secure because the ocean was calming. -He was a telephone man and ran wires from the beach up to the frontlines so he could set up a radio point and call in salvos of shells and rockets, apparently the rockets sounded like freight trains when flying overhead. -He started out training in the Salton Sea because he was going to be deployed in North Africa but he then got transferred to the Pacific once North Africa was just about wrapping up [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] He got married back in the states a month before the war ended and then decided to quit the Marines before he got re-deployed to Germany for guard duty. He went to work for Union Pacific and made a career out of that, he got to see the country via train and work with all sorts of people.

I was born too late to really know either of mine too well. My mom's dad was in the RAF and fucked his spine up in Africa lifting airplane parts then passed away in the 90s when I was still really young. My dad's dad was in the military making maps during WW2, I can't recall what unit exactly, but he was in Yugoslavia helping partisans and doing things nobody was allowed to know about. He wasn't SAS or a commando or anything, but he was still doing some fairly secret stuff. He said in his diaries that he met marshall Tito once and we found invitations he'd been sent to big Yugoslavian official dinners and things commemorating the founding of Yugoslavia and/or the JNA. I didn't get to see him much, and he passed away last year at the ripe old age of 97. Turns out he had this, and the rest of the family let me keep it: [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9988278/FightingKnife.jpg[/t] It's a postwar Fairbarn-Sykes fighting knife. Not really that valuable since it's postwar, and it's beat to shit since he apparrently used it to scrape limescale out of water pipes, but I think it's cool as shit that he had one. RIP grandparents.

I wish i knew my grandparents sometimes

My paternal grandfather died back in 78 and he was a bomber pilot in the RAAF during WW2. I know one of my great-great uncles was a sailor in the Royal Navy (He was Scottish) during WW1 and was killed in combat near the end of the war. And a great uncle was a British paratrooper during WW2 and fought in Arnhem, was captured too I believe, battle fucked him up mentally pretty bad I hear. My Maternal great grandfather was a artillery gunner in the British Indian Army in the WW2 too. [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] My papa and nana are always going on about how much better India was under British rule.

My great grandfather (mother's side) was a sailor in the Swedish navy, didn't see any combat tho. One of my uncles also did his time in the army back when we still had conscription, he served as a royal guard for two months in Stockholm but was otherwise a LMG soldier (KSP-58). Aside from that and having both of my parents do volunteer service for a short time in the SAF we don't have anyone with extensive military background. My little brother and I are probably going to be the first ones in the family in that regard.

Only person in my family who did any military service was my dad's uncle. He was a cuban soldier during the bay of pigs. I remember he told me a story where he was driving a truck as part of a convoy and he almost got bombed.

No offense.

We should emulate gamecube games online sometime you nerds [QUOTE=Slim Charles;49618636] My papa and nana are always going on about how much better India was under British rule.[/QUOTE] I'm not really sure how much can be derived, especially from the difference in time periods, but was India under British rule as awful as India is now?

[QUOTE=Slim Charles;49618734]Unless you plan on making Sergeant and doing your 12 years I wouldn't exactly call it extensive. No offense.[/QUOTE] I was planning on doing 10 years, maybe more depending on how the future looks. (Large decline within the swedish police ATM so it's uncertain if it'll even be realistic to apply after serving with the SAF.)

Especially considering India is past Mexico levels of scummy in some area's now. [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] They're Anglo-Indians tho (A couple generations back British Military marrying native wives) so there's a bit of bias. But even then it is honestly a shithole now.

My grandparent was forced to take the military service during the corrupt military government era that we had here, he was almost sent to combat but some kind of miracle happend and didn't went anywhere BTW, tryna made Glaz and Tachanka from R6:S in Arma 3: [IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/YbhyS99.jpg[/IMG_thumb][IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/R56PjdD.jpg[/IMG_thumb]

So today was a good day. Meet the vocalist and drummer of one of my favorite bands since i couldnt go to their show today. Just me and them talking shit, was fun. Great people :)

My great-grandfather was a Cylciste Frontière (litterally translated to "border cyclist") during WW2 : [t]http://www.freebelgians.be/upload/cyclistes_frontiere.jpg[/t] [sp]he's not on the photo[/sp] He fought during the 3 first days of the German invasion and was captured and then sent to a prisonners camp in Austria. I've been told that he kept sabotaging every machine the german assigned him to work on, and got hit by the stock of the rifle of a guard for giving his bread ration to a french soldier who was sentenced to no food punishment. He eventually worked for the US army after being liberated and then moved to Congo. I wish I knew him :(

[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhPZZhrFy1s[/media] Was this band!

My Dad wasn't in any war. He once got suspended from work for a week because dome guy got mad at him even though they didn't even work i the same department of the mechanic shop

Both of my grandpappies fought in the Korean war Dad's dad was a military envoy to the UN in charge of a large strip of the DMZ, mom's dad was a doctor by trade but got caught up in a resistance movement during the war. I don't know much because I've only heard a bit from my mother but what I've heard is kinda sad. He had another family before he met my grandma but they were left behind or killed after the division and he never saw them again. But then he met my grandma and banged her so I guess thanks for making my mom?

Most of my great uncles, and great-great uncles served in the military. Had one die during the invasion of Italy during WW2 as a paratrooper, one survived an ambush that killed all his friends in their sleep in Korea, another got drafted but deserted and got his crazy papers to avoid going to Vietnam.

My grandfather lied about his age to get into WW2, he was 16 at the time I think. He got sent to fight in Germany and we're still looking into his records to find out if he was part of the final attack on Berlin, he might have said so at some point before he died, but we're unsure. My uncle served in Vietnam. The entire group he was with got killed save for him, he had to play dead in the jungle for days while piled up in the bodies of his friends. Of course he was not the same afterwards, and we don't speak of it with or around him at all.
