To who, Russia?! I don't understand what you're saying.
I used to be glued to the History, Discovery, and Military channel growing up and my grandpa and some uncles were all in the military.

My guy was in rotc in hs and about that life and got stationed in Germany. This dude had a charger with subs in it in Germany.
He ended up marrying a German girl and never even came back.

Same here. My sister was a mail clerk in the army for, I think 7 years. Served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Told me she would never speak to me again if I joined.
My dad joined the navy when he was 17. Did that for 15 years. Went back to civilian life, then joined the army reserves before retiring with a medical disability. Told me he’d beat my *** if I ever joined.
I got pretty far in the process of joining when I was a senior in high school. Was in regular contact with a recruiter, took the ASVAB, had my rank picked out. I was prepared to be shunned by the fam, but I tore my shoulder up in football that year and it pushed back my join timeline. Then I started partying and never looked back

Man, once my uncle to did 20 years told me don’t even think about it I took it serious.
My dad didn’t care but he said only if I went to nuke school and enlisted in the navy.
I didn’t want to anyway. I saw how the constant moving and deployment always lead to family drama.

no no it’s just funny they tell you that when you’re getting ready to enlist. Like “oh you did good on the test. You’ll start out at such and such.” When yeah you’ll be the lowest of the low

They’ll tell you anything to get you in. You gotta bring your pops with or whoever. Someone who knows the deal.
They told my aunt she could be a nurse and she sold candy bars in the gym

I thought you got the MOS confused with Rank.

Anyways, military is not for everyone ... However, if you're open minded, are discipline and don't mind following orders it can be very good/rewarding. Whether it be short term or career wise.
They pay you to stay in shape, teach you a trade, you get on the job experience, a vast network of former service members, travel (granted you can end up in a dump), etc ...
Do I want my relatives joining?? Depends on the world's climate ... i would rather them attend college/University but for some, I think could benefit from the military...

It would be easy for NATO to turn Putin's piece of junk convoys into modern molten metal art pieces, but because Putin has hiden behind empty threats of nukes, he can now go ahead and trade with Belarus, Eritrea, North Korea and Syria instead.
