Career-
I've applied to join the Australian Army on a part-time basis (Army Reserves) as infantry. I have a YOU session scheduled for Monday 21st January at 10 am where I'll have a medical assessment, psychological interview and an army interview. If I pass the interview I'll have to take a fitness test, which is a piece of piss (15 pushups, 45 sit ups & 7.5 beep test) and then get sent off for a training camp interstate for 5 weeks.
The reason I applied for the Army Reserves is because I want to keep my civilian job but I want to serve my country and learn new skills. In other developed countries, such as Greece and South Korea all civilians have to undertake military service for 12 months. Although, war and invasion in Australia is unlikely I want to be able to protect my family and country if required.
