R. Gerschwarzenge 0 Posted June 7, 2002 In October my job comes to an end and I probably won't have enough extra money to get an internet connection at home. And I'm probably going to move to another city. But nothing is set in stone so I might be here for alot longer time than expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foxer 0 Posted June 7, 2002 I have a question,What makes people join the army ? I don't understand how killing people,running around,digging holes,sleep in mud,getting shot at(i guess this makes it easier to kill people though),mines(having your foot blow off),And Alot of other stuff.Do you have to join ? Or do you get like 40,000 bucks in college money ? I could understand joining the navy/airforce,but i just can't understand joining the army,unless it's something special. I don't mean to be negative or anything i just wonder why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallenPaladin 0 Posted June 7, 2002 Well, I`m working in an office now for 2 years and I hate it like hell. I`m looking all day at a 15‘ monitor and have to telephone with pain-in-the-ass-people. The people working here are terrible, too. When I was in the army in 1999-2000 I had a great relationship with the guys in my unit, better than everything I`ve known before. I want to join the army again, because there I can do sports/training/physical exercises in my work time, also I`ll have the ability to see something from the world and of course earn a lot of money. And maybe I`ll be able to study there, too. Your tasks in the army may be boring and nasty from time to time (guard,...) but this is still better than working all live in stupid offices. Another thing that is important to me, is that you get better information regarding the world`s situation, because in the army you get more information containing crisis and war than in civil life. I just want to know what`s really going on out there and play a little role there, too. Maybe that`s simply in my blood... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WKK Gimbal 0 Posted June 7, 2002 Fair enough reasons. Some chose to join on really poor reasons, but you seem to have your act together Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhoCares 0 Posted June 7, 2002 Disagree as well - the Bundeswehr pays according to BAT and that's not as much as you usually get in the free economy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LauryThorn 0 Posted June 7, 2002 So FallenPaladin, what kind of thing in the army are you looking for? And what did you do there when you were doing your service? At least you know how to run and hide! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I fail to get the possibility to study, I`ll try to become officer in a parachuting unit, or maybe in a mountaineering unit, because I like the physical drill.

Aufklatscher? Versuchs doch mal bei der Saarlandbrigade - Brigade 26. Wenn ich mich recht entsinne drei Bataillone, 261 in Merzig/Saar, 262 in Lebach/Saar, 263 in Zweibruecken/Pfalz (*schauder*) und der Brigadestab in Saarlouis. Ich wuerd's im Stab versuchen - Saarlouis hat 'ne tolle Altstadt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallenPaladin 0 Posted June 7, 2002 Duty in the Saarland would be fine! It`s a very nice countryside! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InRange 1 Posted June 7, 2002 Isn't the Saarland heavily industrialized and all? Anyways, you're not gone yet but good luck anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhoCares 0 Posted June 7, 2002 In Lebach they have a Luftlande-Sanitaetskompanie - that's the place to go as medic Furthermore I know about a Moerser-Kompanie and they have this nice little toy called Wiesel And no, Saarland is not heavily industrialized. Yes, there are some coal mines (only one is running today) and few running steel mills but it's not like you see chimneys all around and everything would be poluted. In fact it's very green.
