Goodluck.


BF2 is as much gung ho action I need. Even tho there are tons of hackers, bugs, glitches, there are respawn points so when you get owned, that isn't the end.

Keep safe.

Ha, didn't noticed yuckfou's post. Usually I don't read the junk drawer section. Good luck to you too.
I have already decided what to do in my future career: 1 year as standard infantry and then I will apply to join our paratroopers' brigade.

[=][=]DADDYOFDEATH: Yes, we have indeed a long tradition of idiot commanders and stupid politic choices, in both world wars.
But our soldiers have always been well-reputed over the world, even by our enemies. Commanders and politicians are one thing, soldiers are a different story.
That's something from the past anyway. Until some months ago we was one of US' main allies in Iraq. Our Navy and our Aviations are constantly involved in NATO combined operations.

Btw, I see you are from UK. Do a quick search about british battleships HMS Valiant and HMS Queen Elizabeth in the second World War and see what happened to them (hint: 6 frogmen vs 2 battleships). That's just an example.


agent146: we don't have a huge army, just some special brigades for foreign missions and a basic force for homeland defense. Initial amount of enrollments for this year was 16,000. But they don't need so many people, so reduced them to 8 thousands.

Bomomar: thanks a lot.
Not to be jerk, but look up the Battle of Taranto.

Edit: Enjoy your service time.

Well, I'm not one of those 1000-karma-20-post-per-day celebrities, but I have spent quite a lot of time on BF2 and this forum, so I wanna share this with you.

I just received the confirmation of my enrollment: on March 12 begins the 6 weeks training phase. After that they will send me wherever they need (probably not far from home anyway). In one year I will be eligible for foreign missions (at this moment our army is active in Afghanistan, Lebanon, Kosovo and Bosnia-Erzegovina).

Joining our Army is not easy as in other countries. This year there are like 25,000 candidates for 8,000 total enrollments, so I'm very satisfied.

Probably I'm over with BF2 (and I wanted to be a Captain and complete my SF medal set before leaving, but my pc fucked up), but I'll keep reading these boards.

See you.
Godspeed!

Thank you for serving our Country.

That is a prime example of what I mean by "long tradition of idiot commanders".
The main cause of that disaster was the total lack of radar detection and a messed up development of anti-torpedo defences. Nothing to do with the valor of our soldiers.
This was our main theme in both world wars. Great soldiers with piss poor equipment, usually outnumbered and commanded by idiots.

Im considering joining th RAAF through university... the entry rank is Captain for a legal officer, and you servre 6 years as the Military Legal Centre in Sydney (from what I've heard... although a mate said "ITS NOT F*CKING SERVICE UNLESS YOU BEING SHOT AT...

oh shit, buuurn, yet the french is much better as said activity, and good luck bro, i just got back from USMC boot camp, which is said to be pretty god damn hard, i can vouch that it was very god damn hard, but the tang just flys out of nowhere now, ive went through a 50 pack of rubbers in 3 days, well, i do have 2 left, but in a few hours those will be gone, college partys ftw!!  anyways, good luck again, chances are ill be in iraq/kuwait with you, unknowingly of course, since its just a BF2 gamers website, not myspace (oh how i despise the myspace)
