The army thread

In about 16 hours from now I'll be traveling to go to army. Thought to create this thread just to have something to laugh of later :)

Goodbye everyone, and I hope I'll back online soon :)

don't get shot ;)

yeah, dont shoot yourself, ok? hehehe... this is a nice idea for a thread. you can keep us updated with your army life here.

and don't forget to post some pictures!

yeah, esp. pictures of tanks and other big guns you have there...

take care Nick!

echo that don't get shot, the end with the hole in, thats where the bullet comes out, best if you point it away from body parts :D

I will keep that advice :P

Thanks for your comments fellas, and hope to see you soon :)

Good luck Nikolas, and I'll be prayin' for ya, buddy!

Good luck, God Bless and Stay Safe!

A word of advice for you Nikolas ::) -

Soldier stands guard
A new soldier was on sentry duty at the main gate. His orders were clear. No car was to enter unless it had a special sticker on the windshield. A big Army car came up with a general seated in the back. The sentry said, "Halt, who goes there?"

The chauffeur, a corporal, says, "General Wheeler."

"I'm sorry, I can't let you through. You've got to have a sticker on the windshield."

The general said, "Drive on!"

The sentry said, "Hold it! You really can't come through. I have orders to shoot if you try driving in without a sticker."

The general repeated, "I'm telling you, son, drive on!"

The sentry walked up to the rear window and said, "General, I'm new at this. Do I shoot you or the the driver?"

or he is in a secret mission :D

My secret mission is just over :)

I just got back from the army center, and I have to say it was really fun :)

Ok, maybe it was bad for some people who came there straight from school, but for me and the rest of my age is just fun.

BTW if you have sent me an email these days please hold on, as I have a few hundreds of emails that I have to reply....

Welcome back to the real world :D

Happy reading, lol

Drinking all that coffee must be hard for teenagers ;) W/B

The greek air force is very easy, but not in the center (the first 25 days)

Kids (or fishes...) can't stand the screams all day and many people decide to go to a shrink during that time. I know it sounds very funny but many people take this thing seriously :)

hehe that screaming was the best.

most of all into the phone

welcome back! So now the real army life starts, doing next to nothing all day...

Thanks Nico.

That's right. Now I am going to do nothing all day long :)

you said Nik you just got back from the army center. so where are you now?

I am back at home for one week, then I will go back to army

a week off! talk about part time lol :)

what kind of army is that? I germany people would run away after a month of duty if they get 1 week vacation :D

Here (well not here that's the problem) there are many soldiers who would kill for a week off (sorry bad pun)

But with the armed forces stretched most soldiers have a very busy life :(

The greek air force is the best regarding free time. This is mostly because people like me can't really offer something to the force as all of the activities require special education. We are just doing stuff like cleaning, cooking, etc. :)

Welcome back Nikolas !!
Enjoy your VACATION

maybe if they found out youre a web developer, you will be reassigned to maintaining your armed forces website huh?

Not really. In the army you know something only if you have a master degree on that.

In other words I don't even know how to open a pc :)

so they think you have a masters in cleaning and cooking then? LOL

When the PC is attached to a jet that has a missile strapped to it you would be keen not to open it lol
well they only give them blunt knifes so they don't hurt themselves

maybe an idea for this forums member titels:

master Cook
Grand cleaner
do nothing
...

Welcome back Nikolas!

I find all this conversation about your military interesting. It sounds nothing like ours - even before 2001.

Perhaps the main difference is that Greece has mandatory service where ours is voluntary?

Olaf, that's a great idea. I will add those later :)


That's right. The real army is for those who are full time soldiers. We are just going to army for 12 months, and besides some basic training we just clean stuff and drink coffee....

Clean stuff - It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. lol

OT - I checked out your latest blog entry and noticed a little boo-boo.


I think you meant "know that they pay" :)

Thanks Michelle, I will check this out.

Where did you see that Michelle? I thought I had fixed most of the spelling issues in the main template, and I;m certainly seeing know that they pay, maybe you havea very old cached version?

Hmm, that's strange, I just saw that it is correct too.

well its almost Christmas maybe the spelling elf visited?

Hmm, I think you 2 fellas are just messin' with me. It was there honest. Looks right today.

seriously I went through and spell checked all of the template a couple of months ago, we had a small blip when I used some back up code but it was quickly fixed, I suspect you had an old version cached in your browser if its any help Google is still seeing the old spelling version to :) so you are not alone

That's a strange problem. Maybe some problem with WP that we are not aware of.....

In general google is not indexing our site frequently (last homepage visit was at Dec 8, 2007) so I guess we just need some trust from google.

BTW tomorrow I am leaving again for the army, hope I will come back soon this time :)

be safe Nik!

Thanks :)

When you will arrive home. Tell me your feedbacks please.

I can tell you that you will not find anything useful and cognitive in the army. It is better to go for studying at the university.

I will agree with X-man. Army sucks but still in many countries you have to go for some time....
