one of my friends is in the army, and another is going to the navy.

and ive heard some shitty stories, like theyll take turns being on the look out, you gotta stay awake 12 hours while the others sleep. Whether it be Night or Day. if you decide to go navy, you gotta scrub toilets, clean the kitchen.. be peoples bitches.

If you want that military feel, you can just go to the CHP academy for 6 months, or the fire academy or police academy.

I enlisted for the Selective Service when I was eighteen(some 9 years ago). I have asthma though, so that pretty much disqualifies me from any sort of military duty.

THANK GOD FOR ASTHMA! LOL

thinking about enlisting, im 19 and want to make it to SF by 30, I have to drop everything though, is anyone in the army?

do you regret enlisting? will I be able to fuck women still?
I say go for it if you want....although I doubt it'll take you that long to make it into the SASR...

Selection is open to all serving male Australian military personnel and involves a 3 week selection course which assesses both individual attributes and the ability to work effectively in a small team. Prior to Selection SAS candidates will face the Special Forces Paper Board to assess their psychological and medical suitability for the SASR. Around 80% will meet the standard and continue to the Special Forces Entry Test (also called the barrier test) that tests their physical fitness and includes push-ups, enduarance marches and swimming. Another 80% of applicants will pass the Special Forces Entry Test and continue on to the three week SASR selection course. Approximately 25 percent of the remaining applicants pass the SAS selection course. Following selection candidates must complete up to 18 months of further courses before they join a squadron as a junior trooper or troop commander (Captain). Officers only complete the necessary basic courses to qualify them for service in the unit. Their expertise is in planning and administration. In general, they do not get the opportunity to complete all the specialist courses required of the ORs. A wide array of training and courses are conducted throughout a SASR Soldier's career to allow the regiment to have the most highly-qualified soldiers in the Australian Defence Force.

A new troop commander is carefully mentored by both his troop sergeant and patrol commanders. Generally, a troop commander will only serve in the unit for two or three years but may come back as a Major if he has performed well. Soldiers may serve in the Regiment for their entire career, but this will usually include one or more two year external postings to instructional positions on the east coast.

Promotion for soldiers is quite slow in the unit. On receiving their coveted sand-coloured SAS beret, all soldiers are given the rank of Trooper, which may involve a reduction from their previous rank. They usually also change corps if they are not already members of the Infantry Corps. Despite a possible reduction in rank, SASR soldiers receive significant allowances, which make them among the highest paid soldiers in the Australian Defence Force. With specialist allowances an SASR Trooper earns about $100,000.

Since their beginnings in 1954 , the SASR has lost more men in training than on combat operations, due to the nature of their training regime.

dont sign your life away! I had homies that joined the Army and Marines and they all regretted that shit! A couple of my homies was a outgoing person and was very social. When he went to Iraq and different countries then came back to spend time with family and friends, he didnt wanna do shit! He wanted to stay home where he knew it was safe. He was very paranoid and didnt even trust his own folks he knew since highschool. He probably witnessed some crazy ass shit!
