What is life like in the armed forces?

I am 25 and I have been recommended to have a look at joining the armed forces. I have never really seen them as a career path but I think I will give anything a go.

It's great fun but its hard. You need to be mentally and psychologically strong. You have to be prepared to follow orders no matter what happens.

For example: If you were ordered to shoot a kid, would you be able to do it and not think twice?

That's the kinda shit that will mess you up.

You also need to be prepared to lose family as a result. My family disowned my Uncle Leo when he went into the Army. They still spoke to him but didn't call him family.
