I always wanted to be in the airforce as a kid but nothing other than fighter pilot would satisfy me and I am sorry to say not that good at physics. I could have done a lot better but a teacher essentially caused me to rebel in his classes thus not doing much to pass physics damn my childish behaviour aged 13 for not allowing me to get the job I'd have loved to do.

I considered joining the army but my best mates mom used to be a sargeant and when we spoke about it she said I'd be good in the army and enjoy it but only if I learnt to control my tongue since I'm way too sarcastic for my own good and in the army that would land me in lots of trouble. I also would probably end up in logistics and well the idea of merely being a clerk responsible for the shipping of goods is not a nice idea.

Navy appeals to me because I like the idea of sailing around the world going port to port. However as stated by others, being on a ship where you have no choice about your role and it could be waste disposal 24/7 is not fun also restricted shore leave = sucky.

In a gross wrongdoing by the british government I actually now earn more money in retail than the average basic army trooper earns per hour. I'm still on probation in my job and when my wages go up at the end of it I'll be earning over £1 an hour more. When you consider 37.5 hours a week work, with my holidays ect at 7.73 an hour it's a lot more than a soldier gets paid and I don't have to get shot at in my job.
