Stargazer Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 firstly, Norway has no troops in Iraq. secondly, I will be staying in Norway through my service. I have been drafted, they can't use me for anything but protecting my home country. I can be selected for foreign service, and then I can choose to sign a contract and do service in Afghanistan. there is a very little shance that I get selected. And if I get selected, I would never sign the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRUNK Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Congratulations. The Army sucks. No matter what country you're in, I imagine in it will one big pain in your ass from start to finish. Depends on your job of course, but the Army system will get you. The lack of freedom, being controlled, having other people tell you what to do, the ridiculous schedule, always being on edge, never knowing what will happen, never being able to plan anything for the future........... The military sucks. It is an extremely outdated organization and system, which is extremely frustrating. A bloated bureaucracy where nothing makes sense.

The military sucks. It is an extremely outdated organization and system, which is extremely frustrating. A bloated bureaucracy where nothing makes sense. I feel sorry for you since you feel like that. The army can be a real pain at times, but in general I'm having a good time. but then again the norwegian military has a little different leadership model than the american. and I hae been realy lucky with my officers. the outdated system you are talking about is becouse it's the only system that works in combat. you can't use modern leadership in combat. and thanks for all the wellwishes from all of you, it warmes my hearth.
