I'd love to say have a blast or something like that, but honestly everyone gets something different out of the experience with one exception - everyone feels the sense of camaraderie, more so after you're out or retired; it isn't something I can explain to you easily, you'll simply know later on.

Well I come from a military family, so I've gotten plenty of advice from many different people. My dad, grandfather, brother, and 3 uncles, all served in the military. All but my dad went airforce, my dad was navy. So naturally I picked army haha

Just 1 year of service in the Greek Army (3 years ago), and currently a civilian. It was an interesting experience :)

Hey neighbor unfortunately we're living in a hot zone, indeed 3 years of mandatory service is way too much, but serving as an engineer for the Israeli Air Force (one of the best worldwide) sounds interesting.

I sort of wish the U.S. had mandatory military service, would teach the young snot noses a thing or two about responsibility, dedication, and a huge dose of humility. I have a friend from Sweden that swears by it, but of course they stopped doing that a couple of years ago. I'll admit however that with the prospect of actual combat being involved, it doesn't seem like a compelling motivator to teach younger generations to respect what they have...

Infantry.
Here we use G3's and ride the M113's. In the regular army, of course.

How many U.S. Marines or any other service members (any country) are there on this site - active, retired, or otherwise...
Myself - active duty USMC from 88~92 and reserves after that until 96 - yeah, sort of getting up there in age, but I still get my game on!
