Being Turkish military personel must be a special kind of hell. You should've left and just enlisted burgerland if that was your goal

turkey manufactures and exports a disproportionate amount of firearms compared to everyone else

>get called in at 18 for my service many years ago
>the kommendör of the base (colonel I think) holds a little speech and asks for useful skills
>"anyone with mechanical experience?"
>say yes because grew up that way
