Greetings Streloks,

I'm interested in joining the military for

>weapons and physical training

>valid career path

I'm currently in my early 30s, working on getting /fit/, and in the last two years have learned and practiced with firearms more than I've ever done in any point in my life. I've also been hiking and doing a lot of mild PT. I'm sure it's nothing compared to what the Army will throw at me but I'm certainly not the skinny rail I was for the last decade. I've also kicked all my drug habits aside from tobacco. I do not have anything on my record, haven't been in the trouble with the law, and have no medical problems. I think the only things going against me would be

>a visit to the ER for a panic attack that was caused by loss of a family member combined with drug withdrawal

>a visit to a suboxone clinic and the prescription I filled. I never returned to the clinic and didn't take the meds because I saw how they treated people and figured out it was basically a doctors dealing legal heroin

The last one was an idiot move but I went at the urging of my Grandmother whom I currently live with and over the last 5-6 months I've become the head of household. Her husband died last year, a man I looked up to a lot, and I've pretty much taken over in his stead.

Also, I do not have a good employment track record. I supported myself through writing software and drug dealing after getting out of high school. I do have a good /tech/ background but I can't really prove it nor do I have a degree in anything I know. I've been jumping from job to job these last two years with no direction. I have never been fired but I've walked off the job two times in as many years and quit a third because the boss was an asshole that drove me to quitting over the course of many months. I only stuck around as long as I did at that job because he kept threatening to fire my friend that got me the job.

Will the Air Force or Army take me despite all of this? If not can I get some sort of waver? Would you suggest officer school for someone my age? Do I have other options if they won't take me? Is this a good idea or am I setting myself up for a bad time?

Fucking typo, I meant "Military service as a _valid_ career for reformed NEETs?"

What makes you think that joining a band of spics and qymyn only to die for Israel is a good idea?

Well after a few years you will probably agree that your typo was more truthful than you would have liked.

Doesn't sound too bad.

I'm fairly sure the French Foreign Legion doesn't really care about who you are or what you've done in the past.

You are completely wrong. They don't take people with a criminal past any more, and they prefer people from Eastern Europe and the Third World, because they will do what they are told even if the pay is shit, and nobody cares if they die in a faraway war. The last thing they need is a 'murican in his thirties whose death might be used as propaganda.

Have fun dying for Israel

>>588661

Their website states:

>"to be NOT wanted by Interpol"

I would assume they wouldn't care about minor crimes?

>they prefer people from Eastern Europe and the Third World

That would make sense… so, is there any alternative military career for non-cockroaches, besides one's homeland army?

I don't know how this will make you feel anon, but the army does nothing but sit on it's ass all day. Compared to the retards in there you will be chad.

Not good, they prefer ex-speshul forces. Although if are fine being a glorified pencil pusher, driver or maybe medic, then you can still LARP as some thoughguy with a beard and shitty tattoos. What's the name of that person who started this whole "modern mercenary" look?

>>589134

Are you not capable of following the conversation?

the Legion takes a mix of people. If you want to kill sand niggers and niggers the Legion is your best bet.

If I had to guess it would be James Yeager.

Not to mention that your chances of getting in a PMC are pretty fucking slim if you don't know anyone on the inside.


916877 No.589174

Why would anyone want to get in the Foreign Legion? Wasting your life for someone else is retarded.

Security companies are always hiring.

The army will take you… If you're willing to work as a cook or language interpreter because that's about the only two positions they'll let you take given your history. I doubt you can get into anything worthwhile in the airforce since you most definitely would not qualify for secret clearance. Your non-military records will haunt you for your entire military career though and will likely factor into you not getting promotions or getting stationed in shitty locations.

Well Hungary, while your military might be more zealous, the US military has been an amazing propaganda force for the last 50 years. Being able to list "military experience" on an application won't do shit for getting a middle or senior level position, but it will pretty much guarantee you a job on the lower rungs. I knew guys who drove trucks for the Army for a five year contract who had better job prospects in any career field they chose than people who worked in said field for five years, and while it sucks to be a disabled veteran, IF you have disabled vet status (especially if it's because of some minor shit) you effectively have a pussy pass for the rest of your life in America because of the tax benefits- I had a coworker who was hired by UPS, worked there for three weeks, and settled out-of-court for a full year's full time salary status because they "forgot" to take him off the payroll (even though he wasn't working there) because the tax benefits were more than what they were paying him. This doesn't even get started on the benefits you get if you have veteran status (and let me tell you, the bullshit they spout on their website is just the tip of the iceberg- just having security clearance/secret clearance is enough to land you a manufacturing job at any of the national corporations). Short of being a boot on the ground for the marines, my field of work outside the military has a higher death rate than about 90% of jobs in the military (it's pretty high in the military as well but that's mostly because of women). Basically as long as you don't die or suffer massive brain damage that leaves you permanently more retarded than when you went in, joining the military is a very safe option for anyone in their 20s looking to jumpstart their career, even if they don't do anything even remotely related to their career field while in the military. About 90% of the stories you hear about retarded homeless vets or vets who just can't fucking get their lives together are one of five groups.

>1) They got married before they got in

>2) They blew all their money when they were in the military on cocaine and hookers

>3) They chose a dead-end career in the military like infantry (or worse: stayed undesignated), got out without disabled veteran status, and likely went into a dead-end career when they got out

>4) They tried to make a career out of the military and never had a contingency plan (this one is probably the most common)

>5) They legitimately have mental issues (and likely did before they ever joined)

Pretty much if you're semi-competent and don't try to make a career out of the military, it's about the best damned thing you can do if you aren't good at networking and don't have friends in high places.

>>588959

>So, is there any alternative military career for non-cockroaches, besides one's homeland army?

The Russians started their own foreign legion a couple years ago (the only catch is they won't teach you Russian- you have to know it/pass a fluency test when you try to join- this can be accomplished with about 2 years of learning Russian and spending a summer teaching English to one of the old USSR satellite nations- a lot of NGOs & governments will hook you up with room/board if you do it because they lack English teachers in Slavic countries). There's also the PMC route obviously, but that usually requires at least five years of experience as either police, former military, or security for a building that requires secret clearance to enter.

Jokes on you, that's true of basically every career field that is full of boomers that isn't on the verge of dying from lack of people in it. PMCs have good reason to be worried about FBI/CIA/etc. plants though.

Ah, slight typo, I meant to say

>Pretty much if you're semi-competent, take the shortest contract they offer*, and don't try to make a career out of the military
