Anything as long as I don't have to be in the British Army. The worst army in the world even worse than the Americans who shoot our troops by accident. Have you seen how many British troops die each day, I swear their not coordinated or trained and are just deployed right in the hq of al-quaida and run round panicking and crying whilst being shot at. Al-quaida ftw, where do I sign up?
Wait...did you just say, the British army is the worst in the world? You really need to do some research my friend. The only reason that more and more troops are dieing is because the government won't pay for the equipment the troops desperately need to fight. They ask for better vehicles but the government won't pay for them. They ask for the things they need, but the government is so ****ed up they don't even support their own campaign. They start war, but don't pay for war. Another reason is the Taliban are increasing their attacks. RPG's, bad enough, RPG's with nails in them even worse. Now they are trying to get their hands on SAM rockets, meaning they will be able to take down the helicopters. They are also increasing the use if IED's. They place them in irrigation ditches because as soon as they start to fire at troops, the first place they will go to is a ditch.

Most of them are sent out straight away after 2-3 years of training to fill up the spots anyway.
(That's what I heard)
I think for the regular army it is 32 weeks of training, then some are sent out a week after that. However, they still train after they have passed (obviously) and they don't stop training.
On topic, I would go in the British army. If not that then the RAF.
I just wonder how many people chose Marines because of a certain game :rolleyes:.......You know someone will have....it's true.
