When
I was in the Armed Force's Career centre waiting for my inverview for
the RAF, every conversation I overheard there was that people couldn't
join until they'd spent criminal convictions completely, or waited until
they were eligible to again due to serving time.
A lot of people
who join do so for the same reason people do in the US, they cant get a
job anywhere else and they're desperate. Folk who really want to join
generally go through Sixth Form at least before going so they don't end
up doing shitty jobs.
As for our military sucking? We're pretty
well equipped, the L85a2 is a fantastic and extremely accurate basic
infantry rifle, and our Air Force is pretty hard to match with it's
Eurofighter Typhoons. Hell, the only people who can match that are the
other countries who have the Eurofighter.
Quality, not quantity
is our motto. Even though people like ex-cons are desperate to join, we
don't readily accept them, and certaintly don't put them in anything
other than a basic infantry role. I know quite a few soldiers, and all
of them have at least College education. We don't have a USMC
equivelant, because we don't look for misguided young people to con into
thinking "HURRH BADASS" before sending them in as cannon fodder. |
