I've recently held a lot of interest in joining the regular forces, I just recently quit a job I hated to death and have been living life for the first time in the last 5 years. I've currently got a couple jobs lined up and got to make some decision making this week, so its just been a lot of great change. And I am in a real need for a challenge in my life, I do consider myself in good shape exercising daily, running at least an hour or committing to yoga/gym but its not filling that need and my social life enables me to quite often lazy about things. I try play a bit of paintball and maybe just maybe too many hours playing shooter games..... Bit of a military history geek so its always been in the back of my mind to see what it was really like, training, life in the military etc. I've owned and fired lots of different rifles, and a couple pistols, I've gone to the states and rented full-autos. One M16A1 with a supressor, G36C(le demo wish I had pics), one skorpion, and recently a WW2 thompson. So yeah I kinda got a thing for guns, but the GF doesn't let me keep any :'(.
But my recent trip to the recruiter wasn't as I had hoped, most of the full time positions I would be interested in pursuing were closed. I understand the current economic mindset along the current reservists entering full time , but my interests are not purely monetary. I'd love to join the combat arms but as it appears my best bet is the reserves, would anyone know which unit is the best to try for right now? I most likely will contact them this week just to see, but I'd love another opinion.
