I had a great time in the Army. I've been to Northern Ireland, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Cyrpus, Germany, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, South Korea, Fiji, Austria, Italy, Holland, Belgium and Canada. I wouldn't swap those experiences for anything.
My only gripe with the army is the give you so much training, and so many chances to gain experience, yet don't give you a real qualification. They do that because they know that if we got our EMT or paramedic qualification, we'd all leave as soon as we could. It's simply a service retention program.
