Is IRGC a desirable career? Do they as the "elite" get paid better?

Yes and I'm happy to have evaded it.

It's just 6 months of getting bullied around by lazy-ass, alcoholic armchair officers that work there as they wouldn't be of any use in the regular private market.

And seeing how anti-citizen and corrupt the body of state is back in 2014 and now with our Corona measures that fed some companies close to political parties very fat, I am even more happy to have never pledged any oath for those cronies.

Yes, I served in VDV. I jumped from aircraft in Arctic and shot from PKM.

What's that?

Dodged a bullet there with the recent happenings, eh?

 

Russian suicide paratroopers.

People who fall on your clay from the sky

Luftwaffe, I see. What's PKM?

I actually don't care

Do you not care about your life?

I'm the same ir*nball hiding behind a proxy

 

IRGC is a fucking mafia, you need to be connected to the right people for upward mobility, otherwise they'll just treat you like a disposeable soldier and send you to Syria to die

Sounds a lot like our military and police force, except the part in which you die of course.

You need to be a bootlicker and openly prove that you support the right political party depending on your higher ups/county to get anywhere in that career.

Do you have been in Omsk VDV Training Centre?

basiert

yes i did and i have mixed feels about it. Im not kind of bernd who just sits and wait the horror to end so i found position there and i was sitting in front of pc 9 out of 12 months. I got few good friends and have some memories to remember. But in a same time i know that i actually very lucky that i got place to hide from all this shit russian army known for. Ive met a lot of conscripts from different units and they all had different expirience, some of them liked army and wanted to sign contract to stay there, some said they going to cut themselves and go home thru looney bin

Yes and we're only paid 4 francs per day hahahahahahahahahahahaha

but there is a lot of social pressure here. If you don't go to the army you're considered as a faggot or a leftist and people really don't like that.

I was in cadets (air force) during secondary school.

I still have fond memories of one camp in particular that was at RAAF Amberley for a week or so, I'd wake up listening to the engine noise of F-111's and other aircraft.

 

Despite that, I wouldn't support conscription or mandatory training as it'll just mean low quality people are in the armed forces.

Aren't low quality people better than none at all?

I'd prefer not to interact with them so it's more of a personal thing.

A general wanting bullet-catchers might think differently.

That's one of the reasons why I never joined the army: the regular soldiers are very bydlo.

Kids these days are lucky, not only is the AF still an option but most western countries also have Cyber and Space commands.

my father was in the army and always told me "they treat you like used toilet paper" and was against me joining the military. But still seems beneficial for certain kinds of people: the poor are able to escape their home situation, the lazy are taught discipline, and many make life long friends

Third world military service is called "colimba" by Argentinean: COrrer, LIMpiar, BArrer (run, clean, wipe). Same thing here in Brazil.
