I've decided that, as a personal decision to further myself, I'm going to join (or attempt to) the military.
I've signed up at a gym for four months, and hired a personal trainer, so that I can get in shape for the tests. I'm hoping that within two weeks (I've been preparing for two weeks already), I'll be able to pass. I'm healthy, fairly fit, and don't have any medical problems. I have no problems doing the nineteen pushups/situps, and from testing at the gym, my squeeze test was above what the army wants. My only problem is running the 2.4KM in 11:56. My best time so far is 13:22, but then again, I've got two weeks ahead of me.
What are the odds of getting in the military? The three choices I've picked are all for army, and they are, in order: Infantry, Armored Vehicle Infantry, Vehicle Technician. Nothing for the navy, as I get seasick, and nothing for the air force. Is there a long waiting list? Are they anxious for recruits?
Any opinions would help, from people currently in the army, people wanting to join, people who've been refused, people who've done research, whatever. Thanks.
