MOS?Anyone else here Military? Academy boys/SMC boys too. Also /k/ shish.
So you have had no green service yet then or whatAcademy loser :wink:
How many months did you live?I tried to be as per conscription procedures here in Finland, but I got relieved of duty for times of peace due to shit hearing (volume deficiency on frequencies for usual human speech). I did have some good moments, but I was definitely not in my element there.
The first "hol up, we'll need to do this hearing test again" was done later the same month I was drafted in (January), and soon after I was arranged another, more in-depth hearing test at the central hospital nearby. There they discovered my hearing deficiency, and was given a recommendatio to be relived of active duty. Of course, the higher-ups still gave me an option to stay, but it had to be under very specific conditions (different firing range for training so I was alone from other trainees, no training/handling of high-volume equipment like explosives or heavier guns) - so I figured it was best for everyone if I just left.How many months did you live?
Missed out on the best/worst time of your life depending on what type of person you are, lol.The first "hol up, we'll need to do this hearing test again" was done later the same month I was drafted in (January), and soon after I was arranged another, more in-depth hearing test at the central hospital nearby.

All in all, accounting for the last days I spent without training and instead preparing for my leave, I was out juuust a few days into February. So, a little over a month.
You should've stayed around and learned a little thing or two. Experience is always nice and I'm sure you could find out if you find it something that would interest you or not. :)The first "hol up, we'll need to do this hearing test again" was done later the same month I was drafted in (January), and soon after I was arranged another, more in-depth hearing test at the central hospital nearby.

it's pretty obvious when someone isn't a service member so it's more funny to watch them make a fool of themselves
Never actually seen anyone do it here lmaoi think the angry veteran yelling at ppl in public while they film is even more cringe tbh
Oh don't you worry, we had two instances of camping outdoors and doing training segments. Felt pretty dogshit, first trip I got dehydrated fast and collapsed (drank properly and completed the whole thing tho), second time I got some kind stomach illness and was sent back. Went as bad asMissed out on the best/worst time of your life depending on what type of person you are, lol.
We went on our first exercise the same month we started, which was February and I've never been so switched off mentally in my entire life than during those 4 days of suffering, sleep deprivation and activity
Nah, I was always lagging behind everyone else in everything with a poor bodily constitution (see above response) that also dragged down my mental fortitude. There's no "grit your teeth and bear it" when you're not only inferior to your peers, but also impose upon yourself all the guilt for dragging everyone else down due to your poor performance.You should've stayed around and learned a little thing or two.

Sorry you felt that way. I know that feeling. Perhaps it was best if you left, indeed, but maybe if you had a friend along you that could give you confidence, you could've surpassed all of that with ease.Nah, I was always lagging behind everyone else in everything with a poor bodily constitution (see above response) that also dragged down my mental fortitude.

I'm glad my room's sergeant (technically "lance sergeant" by Finnish rank standards) was a field medic and seemed to know how to deal with mental shit, otherwise I might've ended up pretty badly.
Some might say you need to break a boy to make him a man, but in my case I probably would've become pretty traumatized and even less functional than I am now.
Oh yeah, I don't remember anything from the the last day to morning the day after. Totally blank space in my memory. I've only got memory of making it through the finish line because we had to pass through a river with water at chest height before our 2 km sprint through mud, more water and sewer pipes.Oh don't you worry, we had two instances of camping outdoors and doing training segments.

throwing up so hard some stomach acid or smth ended up wounding my throat and adding blood to my vomit. Had to keep going to the toilet overnight to throw up.
