Does this happen in your country?

I am one but chair force

The ukrainian legion is hiring

if i wanted to be surrounded by maoris and islanders i'd just move to south auckland

>>214125735
Same here, did 2 years in the Army before I realized chair force was the way to go. I do maintenance too, so as long as shit dont break down we just fuck around or chill out. Pic is from today

like mainländer, i feeling the uncontrollable urge to serve

Ill be a IT/radar maintenance monkey, course starts Sept 2nd. Do you work on avionics or engines?

>>214125835
are those real Meteors or mock-ups?

>>214125864
Its a Gripen mate. Its super easy to maintain so everyone is trained to be able to do basically everything (altho there is specialist courses you can attend for ejection seats, armaments or deap maintenence on engines/avionics) I went armaments since I get to fuck with bombs and missiles. Pic related can go fuck itself btw, its a hoe to work on when something breaks down.

We were at an airshow in Denmark today (comfy as shit assignment btw) so those are just mockups (CATMs). Incidentally Luftwaffe was there too, served beer and threw a part in the back of an A400M lol

kek
I figured because Meteors are very expensive

>>214126051
IIRC they are around €1,5 million. I know this because I once broke one beyond repair.

>>214126119
how? fell down while trying to mount it?

>>214126143
Nope, two of my conscripts had exactly that happen with an AMRAAM tho, it fell of during takeoff since it wasnt properly attached. My Meteor incident involved a forklift, a concrete wall and me beeing stupid

That reminds me of the quote from Le Colonel Chabert by Balzac
>When I think about how Napoleon is on Saint-Helene, everything in this world becomes meaningless to me. I can no longer be a soldier, THAT is the source of all my misery.
