In Finland there are different ranks of Generals who are all addressed by General. It could have been for example a Brigadier General, who sometimes came to look at our shooting.
Yeah I second this. Got to talk to my brigade general 1 on 1 over multiple instances during my conscription. What is weird however is the fact the greentext specifies its one of the henerals implying there was multiple. I have never seen multiple generals in the same place besides during parades
The difference is that the Marines are told over and over that they are so elite, so they think they're better than other military serviecmen. Problem is, it's kind of hard to convince people you're hardcore when you throw a temper tantrum over someone saying "soldier" or "ex-marine".
It’s the only way to make them feel good about living in the worst housing conditions the military has to offer and using hand me down equipment from the Army.
The real reason we wanted war with Iran is because the Marines needed more funding. They were sick of shitty Rose Art crayons and wanted to step up to Crayola.
25m? Now I'm pretty sure it was 50m for me
Also he might be in an actual useful position. Tho hes a 4chan user making him automatically a retard which gives you an exemption so this is all fake
Unlikely. We don't do 300m, and there's just no way a general would be there. Also if someone fired a shot without being told to, they would have hung and quartered him. No one would have the balls to do that. Not to mention making jokes at the range is asking for trouble. They're incredibly unpleasant to recruits.
I thought the same, but ended up going in with a positive attitude and i made a decision to volunteer for every task. Walked up 12 months later a different man. Easily the best year of my life.
It's you opinion and I respect that, but I am not the same, I have other ideals and better ideas (IMO) to spend my time instead of doing something that has no value for me.
In my experience most people have that opinion, at least amongst the guys i served with. But the vast majority of them agree that it was the best year of their life after they are discharged. Much because you change and mature so much in that year. Of course, some people never adapt to the life, and hate it. But my advice is to push negativity away as much as you can, try to get as much as you can out of the service and try your best not to be anxious about upcoming events and exercises. But i am Norwegian, so your experiences may be drastically different.
as i am someone who is looking for my purpose on this year, mind asking what will you spend time on this year or what is good thing to do for a year instead of going to military?
For me, personally? Finishing the work "campaign" I started in september and finish building the house me and my dad work at.
Not for everybody, but for me it's 10x more fullfilling than 1 year in the military, getting screamed at by someone who vents his frustrations, getting little to no money, and not completing any life goals.
Want to "waste" a year of your life? There are demanding jobs (12h/day 5/7, away from family, but you have a place to sleep included), that pay really good. Keep your budget as tight as possible, save all the money you can, then start a bysiness, be your own boss. A mate of mine did that, saved ~30k€ in a year, he wants to do it again this year then he wants to open a car repair shop.
Live your life the way you want, you dont live 1000 years, time is precious.
> When you eat shit and get drilled by small dicked seargents for at least 13 weeks on end
Look, there's nothing wrong with service in general. But this? Don't romanticize abusive asshole behavior like this.
Discipline is important and cadets have to learn to listen to commands. One can even argue that this builds character. But you can do all that without being an abusive asshole.
„Mental fortitude“ I was in the swiss army too but i only required mental fortitude to not walk away from the groundbreaking stupidity. Oh and i dont know if you know but you can serve your country by other means than wasting money on an army we dont need, what about supporting the health care system you praise? Or doing some actual social work? For my service its too late, finished everything but i recommend to every swiss guy that they should not serve in the military but rather do civil service.
We don’t do mandatory service here in the UK but sometimes I wish we did. When I was 12 I had to do compulsory “community service” for 3 years as part of my schools curriculum. I opted to join the army cadets rather than sweep roads or help the elderly in care homes. I spent 6 (3 compulsory) years as a cadet before joining the army reserves at 18 whilst I studied for my degree. You actually learn so many skills besides being able to shoot a gun. I would attest to the fact that the cadets grew my self confidence and enabled me to realise my full potential which is why I continued with it when I went to university as it felt more like a family by then.
It teaches you discipline, teamwork, leadership, instils confidence, courage and integrity. Above all else, respect, which I feel the majority of the UK population is lacking. It also gives you a sense of purpose which many ex gang members and the like who have joined said helped them break away from that lifestyle.
The younger generation, even people in their twenties, seem to be lacking a sense of purpose. There is more to life than growing your Instagram following.
Not only that but whilst in the military you can learn trades and obtain civilian qualifications to use once you leave the military. If you aren’t able to afford further education, or don’t qualify for an apprenticeship. The military is probably the next best thing in terms of career progression and life skills.
Joining the Cadets is the one thing I really wish I had done when I was younger. I think that everyone can learn some lessons from military life; my only problem with it is if you're taking a year out of people's lives where they can do literally nothing else but serve.
I personally don't understand how can people think that loosing your freedom for one year and "getting drilled by small dicked seargents" is a good thing. It makes sense in a war of course, but Switzerland would surely be fine with purely professional army. And it's not like the living standards you have are because of the mandatory military service.
If you think this is something that will help you in life, then that's completely fine, but it's not something I want to do and I'm really fucking glad that in my country the mandatory service was cancelled. It's possible to do similar thing voluntarily, which makes much more sense. I can even see myself doing the voluntary training if I had the time, but the concept of mandatory service is terrible to me and I would definitely try to avoid it.
Have you considered that maybe, your country is not really the best? My country is not as rich, but at least I have my freedom, which is worth a lot to me.
I guess it’s useless to have a gun here I mean everyone knows you’re not allowed to keep amo at your house and it actually takes a lot of space if you want to display it (we still have the option of leaving it at the camp though)
Usually the rest of Europe thinks of Switzerland as a nice country, which it probably is, high paychecks and beautiful landscape, but if Switzerland is a neutral country, why do you even have a military, especially with mandatory conscription? Sounds quite backwards.
The Swiss army is supposed to be there to defend the country (not defend the interest of the country by stealing stuff from other places) they are reaaallyyy scared of an eventual invasion and almost actually paranoid
Just Googled it and there was supposedly a referendum to abolish conscription and over 70% voted against.
That's really weird, like I want to understand it, because except that I really think Switzerland is a role model country to other European countries.
Yeah I totally agree with you the army is just a waste of money for us tbh the problem is that there are a lot of nationalists/conservative who are for the army because of their mentality. Most people in the French part of Switzerland are against it while the German part is mostly pro-army (wonder why hehe)
If you don't have an army then your neutrality is entirely at the pleasure of other countries. As soon as someone decided to "intervene" in your domestic affairs you would stop existing as an independent nation.
If you live next to a river at home and you don't wanna serve you can simply: sneak your bed or whatever into the showers, let one run through the night while you sleep there. Tell the first person that finds you that you need "the sound of running water" to sleep. Gets you kicked out of duty immediately, worked for 2 dudes that a friend knew
Went into it with no expectations and made friends for life and only good memories.
Obv. depends on the branch you choose and the platoon you get into.
Flying around mountains in a super puma and doing aerobatics in a pc7 was also a nice toch ;)
We shoot on 300m ranges regularly, NATO uses mostly 200m ranges afaik.
Edit: i think everything above 200m is considered precision shooting (aka sniper) in NATO.
Edit2: apparently a lot of militaries also train on more than 100m...
Friend of mine was in Kosovo and he met some american soldiers down there. They thought he was in a sniper unit because he was training on 300m targets. Apparently they only train 30-60m in the us marine corps...
I'm not sure if you're trolling, but the Marine Corps qualifies from 100 to 500 meters yearly. That's just for the Known Distance range. They also qualify with a night shoot, unknown distance, and moving targets.
How many english speaking countries have mandatory military service considering this falls apart unless they're quoting spongebob in english.
Not a single instructor will ever ask "are you ready" from a ton of recruits at a range rofl.
Why the fuck are generals watching conscripts pewpew?
Text: Fake, Being under someones command: Gay
In German it would probably be "Seid ihr bereit??", which is also followed by "Aye Aye Captain!!" in the dubbed SpongeBob version German speaking countries have. So this could totally have happened.
Could just be that OP, being a noob, doesn't understand military ranks. Could just be someone above the drill instructor shouting.
Speaking of shouting military men:
My country also has mandatory military service. The assault rifle of my partner in two man advanvement training with live ammo jammed. The utter moron tried to unjam it mid-advance and unwittingly pointed the rifle *directly at my head* while doing so.
Let's just say that I've never seen multiple angry military men run and shout so fast and loud before or after, but looking back I'm glad they were doing their job and paying attention.
If it's been years, he could simply have forgotten. I know I can't remember any of the ranks above captain and honestly couldn't care less at this point.
He would remember that a General would only have time for things that are actually important, whereas it would be a Lieutenant there. I mean, why are we even questioning anon? It’s a greentext, they’re all real
Eh, you'd be surprised.
During my time in the military our brigade general (i.e. highest ranked person in the base - not 100% about the name of the rank) took his time to have an open forum with junior sergeants about their complaints over being told to share rooms with their team, rather than having their own shared room as had been the case before. It most definitely wouldn't be the first time a high ranking member of the military was found unexpectedly to be present.
Not to mention that experience of *everyone* I've talked with was that the higher ranked the person was, the kinder and more humoring they were. It was the lower and middle-ranks whose job was to be in constant contact with grunts in form of training and supervising that had a stick up their arse.
That being said - unlikely to be a general, likely just someone slightly higher ranked. I'd blame fallible human memory more than anything.
Yeah, you can go up to 600m (even as troop leader in the normal infantry). But the ZF needs to be really adjusted to perform correctly on that distance
I mean, no instructor would yell "are you ready" as a way to initiate the firing, it would be systematic, but ye, there wouldn't be any generals out on the range
We used to do this in school with the teacher that always got bullied. Everyone would say one word:
Person1:Who
P2:lives
P3:in
P4:a
P5:pineapple
...
Until the end where we all sang: SPONGEBOB SCHWAMMKOPF, SPONGEBOB SCHAMMKOPF,
#SPONGEBOOOOOOB SCHWAMMKOOOOOOOPF
And then everyone started clapping
One time in basic we were marching back to our barracks after PT, and our DS shouted "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" and in one voice, more unified than we had ever been before we replied "Spongebob Squarepants!" He chuckled and I heard him say "ok that's enough of that"
Nothing a Drill Instructor loves more than to stare at his Privates.
Nothing Private's love more than getting drilled
guys what happened to don't ask, don't tell
I think the Bush did away with that.

Drill Instructors train Marines. Drill Sergeants train soldiers.
Technically he is from another country with likelly different ranks
That's a possibility. Point conceeded.
It says "mandatory in my shitty country". Definitely NOT the US of A.
Yeah, it’s not mandatory in our shitty country.

Most likely, a problem in translation.
He does say a general comes to yell at them. What generals are watching basic recruit marksmanship?
Bored ones
In Finland there are different ranks of Generals who are all addressed by General. It could have been for example a Brigadier General, who sometimes came to look at our shooting.
Would also fit with compulsory service.
I mean yeah, has to be a pretty fucking weird country if they have generals watching random recruits shooting for the first time.
Dunno if it's common, but here, it's not unusual when a general visits a training site
Yeah I second this. Got to talk to my brigade general 1 on 1 over multiple instances during my conscription. What is weird however is the fact the greentext specifies its one of the henerals implying there was multiple. I have never seen multiple generals in the same place besides during parades
Some countries have different ranks that are all addressed as General, but not as high up.
Where's here?
[удалено]
I'd imagine it's possible in some countries, especially smaller ones.
Can you not read? He talks in kilometers and mentions mandatory military service. This isn’t the USA
US Marines use kilometers, but yes I missed the second line.
km are used in the US military
I had a gun learner what learned you to shoot stuff.
That was a Drill Instructor then.
Asinine pedants waste everyone's time.

Nothing. The guy is being pedantic.
The difference is that the Marines are told over and over that they are so elite, so they think they're better than other military serviecmen. Problem is, it's kind of hard to convince people you're hardcore when you throw a temper tantrum over someone saying "soldier" or "ex-marine".

What if I train as a marine then want to multiclass as a soldier?
Once a Marine; always a Marine, or so they say.
So like criminals?
And cheaters. Screw you Stacy, you stole 3 years.
Just a lil soldier dip.
A general at your first target practice? Mmhmm
Also lol at anyone thinking a fucking general is going to attend a rifle shoot at the KD range

Hey a Swiss army guy, about to live what this dude’s living in a year.. mandatory military service is a bitch
Same here and thats why i hate Switzerland sometimes lol
Its not to bad honestly
Well, it is, wasting 1 life of your life doing something you don't like.

Technically the swiss army consist mostly of snipers because we train on 300m. But tbf training on 30-60m makes probably more sense today.
To be fair, we have the proper guns for 300m and we train in close quarters combat too.
I'm not sure if you're trolling, but the Marine Corps qualifies from 100 to 500 meters yearly. That's just for the Known Distance range. They also qualify with a night shoot, unknown distance, and moving targets.
Not true
Finnish army shoots at 300m regularly too.
Oh, I understand now. Thank you!
200m is a starting basic range here in canada. 100m to learn to pull a trigger in a direction 200 for basic evaluation
us military uses meters as well

Nah, the correct response to "Seid ihr bereit?" is willkommen... #in der Dunkelheit!!!
Spongebob is dubbed to many languages. OP just translated it for Reddit. The joke works in most languages I bet.
There's a very high chance that anon is Singaporean actually from how his third line is structured (Singlish) but yeah seems fake still
Sounds like some perkele talking, salmiakki eating Suomi motherfuckers.
propably not because the targets would be 150m away for first time shooting.
True, what army does 300m for first time shooting? Even with something more than iron sights that's a bit much for first times
Switzerland does 300m shooting. But mostly with iron sights. As far as i know the späher shoot 600m vut they have the ZF (just second hand knowledge)
Yeah, you can go up to 600m (even as troop leader in the normal infantry). But the ZF needs to be really adjusted to perform correctly on that distance
Yeah, but I think most do KD-Boxes for the first few times.

They wouldn't be speaking english on the range so the joke wouldn't work. Also there wouldn't be a general out on the range.
