I'm a dude who's about to graduate high school. My dad was in the RAF (royal air force) and wants me to join the British military. But I live in America and i don't really want to spend a shit ton of money and 5 years of my life to move over and be able to join just regular service there (you have to do marines or paratroopers there). I don't really want to join just regular army either... So what should i join /k/? pic not related

hmmm well...
Delta sneaks into a facility that the SEALs have already rigged with explosives; which are triggered by the SAS dune buggies driving by firing grenades....
What should you join?... Are you serious? how fast can you run a mile? Pushups in a minute? How are your grades in school? How much COD have you played? How high is your pain tolerance? Do you do drugs, including coffee nicotine, marijuana or take prescription drugs? Any underlying medical conditions?

Join the United States Marine Corps, the best of the best, if you don't believe me just call up a recruiter and he'll give you the run down.

I don't know,what's left in the bong weapons repository other than bicycle rims?
I mean they have cutted the impossible to make their own and all is left are some tanks that are prone to rust, a Famas clone that is not as comfy, Apache can't fire rockets and missiles due FOD causing problems with everything and making horizontal stabs catch fire, Harriers are gone due meme35, Alarm is gone too, they tried into gunpods for the Harrier as they didn't wanted yanks trickery and failed, how many Tonkas are still flying?
I don't know man, join the muhreens or something along those lines at least they still have some working machines and enough fliers to bomb mud huts with expensive as fuck bombs
Or don't join any and go in the woods

SAS have Lynx.

good point
LOL you can't just join Delta you have to be asked to tryout, and if you go Navy Seal its much easier then Delta
Well firstly, bravo for aiming high and all that but chances are you won't pass UKSF selection. That's just a fact. And besides, you'd have to join the regular army or Royal Marines for a few years before attempting selection.
So you're right to have misgivings. If you have US citizenship just join the US military. They have money, they have equipment, and you'll be able to do more stuff.
The British army's in bad shape right now - people are signing off in droves. 82,000 is a small enough size, but we're actually under strength so I wouldn't be surprised if the true number is 70,000. Unless you're in Intelligence or SF, you're not going to see operations. The RAF's tiny and the Navy... well god knows, but if I had the option to join the US Navy instead I would do so in a heartbeat.
Tell your crab dad he's a mong and doesn't know what's best for you.

I hope you're a decent writer. They don't let you in the SEALs unless you have a book deal lined up.
>>32613268
>(you have to do marines or paratroopers there)
Yes, we have oper8or marines and paratroopers.

Leans times, but should be better soon.

It doesn't matter OP you're probably not even making it to sergeant in any branch. There are specialist divisions in all of the branches though so just go where you want.
>>32614392
It's this sort of attitude which is deflating the armed forces. Neck yourself, you absolute fucking cretin.
Be proud of your nation's armed forces. If you do want to do your part, go for it.
>>32615433
If you think a cynical attitude is the main thing undermining the British forces you're a prick. There are slightly more important factors like 'money' and 'a purpose'.
I'm enjoying my time in the military but the next few years are likely to be less interesting than the last few. The US and UK fight the same wars anyway, might as well join the military of the country that gives you more opportunities.
>>32613268
SAS is probably the main end goal for a lot of career infantry blokes over here, and even then most will not make it through selection.
If you really want to be a sneaky-beaky oper8r without putting in many many years beforehand, stay in the US, go rangers and then try for Delta, or join the navy and go seals.
>>32613268
Go american
Go marines, or if you are really a stud, go navy and get a seal contract, or army and get a ranger or sf contract. Google their requirements for joining and pick the one you can do. If you cant do any of them, go marines. It will have easier standards and you get those dress blues that will make even a weebo look 10/10 to females.

LOL. One of the biggest lies ever told.
