I'd probably be a NCO in the Army. My nickname would be Banana or Monkey and I'd carry around an M4. About my country, it's New Zealand.

They're all 'military'...but I know what you mean.

Navy, as that's what I was raised with...s'ose an Admiral, since it's what will always be my aim when I do join the Navy in a couple years =P.
I think an Aircraft Carrier would be a nice choice, instead of a gun, that's what I'm most familiar with nowadays anyway...as a gun just wouldn't make sense, sure, you're trained to use one but not very many sailors run around with them...

I don't think I would have a 'nickname', seeing as my last name is pretty simple enough and doesn't need shortening...

/United States of America

Coming from a military family, I joined the RAF at 16 and went through ab initio after IOT to my aircraft of choice, the GR9, which I am delighted with. That said, I have lots of mates/family in other branches; the Paras, Marines, but from what I've heard flying Apaches with the Army Air Corps is one of the most exciting jobs there is, with a great training course.

I don't have a choice...and sadly hundreds of thousands of Singaporean youths don't either...

I'll go through BMT (Basic Military Training) for three months...as a normal recruit in the army...then they split us into the different branches...

I can swim pretty well (Competetive swimming since age 6), but I don't want to be a frogman...

Nor do I fancy being brought down by a random SCUD...

So Army I guess....I'm hoping I end up in Signals....Lazy bum...

Hopefully the US Army. Maybe West Point, but I doubt it. I'll try anyways.

I plan on going in as an officer in the 82nd Airborne as a Combat Engineer.

I like building things simply for the sake of destroying them, so it fits me nicely.

I also think that mine clearing operations are in high demand XD

Reminds me so much of the WWII Soviet punishment battalions...poor dudes had to walk across a minefield to clear them. Dang.

Not that type, but that inspired a joke.

You can always take out two mines with one body XD

Lawl.

Anyway, I'm talking more of the 'launch a rocket with a bunch of C4 on it and see what happens' type mine clearing.

Quite common for large scale quick mine field destruction

I have a cousin based at FOB Edinburgh with the Royal Marines whose job is exactly that. Trust me, it's no joke. Consider that 80% of all casualties in Afghanistan come from mines or IEDs.

Funny you should mention that, as my Greek cousin just got out of his national service. How long is it in Singapore? I think it's a mandatory 2 years in Greece.

Hopefully I'll get into West Point, then after that I plain to go into Marine Special Forces, as a Marine Sniper. Or as an Army Ranger, still as a sniper. But its 60/40 Marines on the subject...

Two years. And then regular call-ups every year till we're about fifty. So yeah...and there's a very very very strict law regarding NS. No one is allowed to not serve.

Should technically be 22, unless you go in at 17. The full college is 4 years, and you get a bachelors in something or another. Engineering I believe.

Last I checked, the mandatory is 5, but I could be wrong.

Most people who go to West Point end up as career military anyway. I wouldn't see why not.
