Do it, IMO.

The Army will make you a man. You learn to:

- keep your feelings bottled up
- blindly obey the most stupid of orders (if you're in long enough, you can give stupid orders aswell)
- shoot guns! Woo!
- eat shitty food and share the experience with thousands of others!
- talk about nothing else than the army for a year
- wake up at 5:20 in the morning and immediately go jogging 5 miles
- shoot more guns
- sleep with 7 foul-smelling people in the same guerilla-tent.
- know what "I'm cold" really means

But when it's over, you're gonna be really glad you went.

And that's speaking from my own experience (9 months, Military Police, I/2000)

9 months ?

I did my 6 months training to become a platoon leader and served as instructor for the next year

But nice summary Donnie, was sometimes bitchy but i treasure the experience and value it over many other experiences

Yep, the times in Finland are:

Grunt: 6 months (PFC/LnCrp)
Special service (Medic, MP, Driver) 9 months (PFC/LnCrp)
Corporal/Sgt/2ndLt.: 12 months

It's a great feeling when it's over, and you gain many friends there. You learn to really rely on the guy next to you. I went to reserve training in 2004 (was it?) and saw that after 4 years, nothing had changed, we knew how to function as a team still.

Do it, teddy!

MP? Woof woof! MP are bunch of girlies sitting in their boxes guarding lightposts or whatever and eating Pedigree Chum I was in the REAL forces! I drove a truck... It was sooooo hard. If you had some driving to do the next day you HAD to get atleast 6hrs of straight beautysleep in order to be a safe driver. "Guard the gate tonite? Oooh, sry, can't. Gotta drive tomorrow. Youknow, sleepy time. Captains orders." It was fun to get that driving sxperience with all those different vehicles. Though I should've gotten my hand up when they asked who want's to get to the PaSi (our kickass version of the APC) training... Anyways during the time it sucked as much as anything could but afterwards it's so fun to laugh at all the idiotism that happens and to all the loonies that almost got themselves killed during combat training (asshole dove to the ground across my line of fire when I was aiming on these targets that pop up in the woods. drill instructor almost got a heart attack and told me never to say anything to the idiot what almost happened). Go serve your time and take it as a long extreme sport challenge. You won't regret it afterwards. Trust me.

LIAR! All you did was play Super NES at HQ and whined to get a car when your C.O. told you and Sami to take the round with bikes! And when it rained you drove an extra kilometer when neither of you wanted to get out of the car and open the gate

Who had the NES then? I thought you told me you had a Nintendo? Oh well. I completed Resident Evil 2 in one stretch of 4hrs 21min. Didn't get up from me bed at all, just changed my position once a while. Took a 14" telly and a Playstation one evening from our sarge when he was fed up with the game Oh, the hard times...
