I'm hoping to join the navy in September and then hopefully join the Fleet Air Arm as an amphibious assault helo pilot.

The personal equipment you nowadays get in FDF is not that bad. At least in Pori Brigade we mostly got from the mark 91 patch of clothes. If you are unfortunate enough to get from the older lot (made in sixties), you&#39;re fucked.

The armament... I guess it is adequate for a small country.

The difference between liking and hating the mortar troops is a matter of calibre. If you end up in a light mortar company, it will suck all the way, because you have to lug that bitch around the grounds, since light mortar is "man portable". If you end up in a heavy company, it rocks, since heavy mortar is not man portable and so you drive everywhere with trucks. You do this even when the jaeger companies walk. So you can give them the finger when you drive past. It&#39;s a lot of fun.

To qualify for sniping, you have to shoot awesomely with the assault rifle. And RK62 is not ambidexterous.

Yeap, in Israel dealing with riots is Border guards and MP duty mainly. Well, i think you have seen our RIOTs...
We first useed sticks and shields and then switched to rubber bullets and tear gas grenades fired from "Federals". The riots are getting worse...

It looks like a lot of us Finns have served in the same place, Pori Brigade in Säkylä. And I actually was in the same building with you. I was in 3.JK (3rd jaeger company), if I remember correctly it was right next to korohoro (a nickname for mortar company).
When I was there, 3.JK was the recon company. And I guess I did pretty well with RK because I got qualified to sniper training and got even promoted to sergeant

Don&#39;t worry, we&#39;ll snap him into line. Or else......maybe it&#39;s the drugs speaking? What is he on?

I don&#39;t consider myself a slave, militarist, facist or a sicko. 4ntifa, you have a twisted sense of reality.

Oh well........

Frigging John Lennon... Right. Let me quote you some Mark Knopfler.

"I&#39;m a soldier of fortune, I&#39;m a dog of war. And I don&#39;t give a #### who the killing it is for. It&#39;s the same old story with a different name. Death or glory, it&#39;s the killing game. Gonna ride across the river, deep and wide. Ride across the river to the other side."

Man, the cause is not important. It&#39;s the soldiering itself, which is so much fun.

I admit I was a bit provocative... I just couldn&#39;t resist the temptation. But seriously, matters of life and death are not something I let the System decide for me. I can&#39;t understand why someone would give up his morals and let others decide for him.

I&#39;m not on drugs. I have my use of intoxicants strictly under control, I can assure you.

I have a very good sense of reality, thank you. I just don&#39;t believe everything the System™ or the mainstream media tells me. Nor should you. Besides, even a twisted sense of reality is better than swallowing the pre-processed "truth" they&#39;re feeding you&#33;
