Short update

God bless you Polak ... Miss your slant on things around here.

Perhaps not coming to America and staying at West Point for five years
is a blessing in disguise.

It's a wonderful country ... many things to do here, but you would miss your family.

Hope everything works out for you ...

Do you feel like the military has been good for you?

Hi geetrue,
It's too early to say if the military was a good choice or not. Overall I am a bit disappointed. The equipment is really old and bad, my commanders are corrupted and incompetent. But that's the way it works in the Polish military, schools have almost no fundings and commanders that are too incompetent to serve in normal units are transfered to schools.

Fortunately, the reality in normal units is totally different. Normal units get all the new equipment and the commanders serving in those units have experience from international missions.

Time will tell, but I am still very angry that I did not go to West Point.

Polak, although the equipment might be battered, judging from your picture I sure as hell wouldnt want to screw with you

Is that because of the battered equipment or the mean looking black strip across his face

Still using AK's? No M-16s?

So some guys have been chewing on the commander's Polish sausage.
I know in Eastern europe this is exemplified but it happens over here too, I can think of a few examples I know.

Bummer dude, maybe they won't get in and they'll have to pick you.

Polak · 02-24-08, 10:18 PM

@XabbaRus
I doubt that they will get in since only one of them knows english at an acceptable level.

@JSLTIGER
Still using the AK47... :p But it's being replaced by the Kbs wz. 1996 Beryl assault rifle.
