Nope but if i could be 20 again i would try much harder to get in the army, and i would go for sniper specialist if their is one. Ive always been a good shot with a gun, have won many competitions over the yrs on shooting range. I find the sniper class like a secret forces unit I like that.

Wouldn't join our navy unless i lived in the states or UK as NZ has no subs

Not yet, but the Navy is very appealing to me right now.:hmm:

Thanks to all past and present who have served the allies.

I was in the Reserve Forces years ago, but only for a short-time. PEI Regiment: Armored Division.

Found out in the end it was not for me, but gave me a huge appreciation for those that are in our Armed Forces. They have my respect big-time

Go Navy & look into weapons systems. Sonar Tech & Fire control Tech are the best rates for that. Lots of good electronic training & you get to fire the weapons. Stay on surface ships. Destroyers go everywhere. I know I did when I was in, 35 countries on 4 continents. One other reason for joining the Navy, No al-qaeda navy.
