Pakkis, I think they have. Not sure though...

I have also participated in NATO-exercises. Battle Griffin where we fought Americans. Our guns are AG3 which hit you hard!! The American M16 are like peas - no power They were more disciplined then us though, they attacked in patterns. I guess you get better soldiers and training when your service is non-mandatory.

Yes mandatory. I would've liked for them to turn as into half decent soldiers. Instead I gained 15 pounds and got out to become unemployed . God that was ages ago...

Yeah, I feel all they did was train us for the parade

But let's face it, the "real job" is done by the volunteers. We are stocking stuffing (or cannon folder )

I was in the navy BTW.

There should be an an option for those of us that went through the draft lottery and were never drafted, since at that time it was mandatory and we didn't avoid it.

Eyes, they had a minimum uncorrected requirement.

I actually got laser surgery to fix that, but in the 6 months it took them to start processing my application I had settled into a comfortable office job, and lazy lifestyle that I didn't feel like giving up anymore

You?
