thanks for that detailed explanation, i value that. thats very interesting. yeah, i was in military at age twenty, we had a couple of bigger dudes, and they all passed those tests you have after 3 months.
at the first 5 km march someone died though. heart failure, nobody knew about his heart condition. luckily, that dude wasn't in my building. pacing was way slower after that incident. they were deeply ashamed about that accident...
Yeah we lost 2 people to mental health. It's a big stress test and some people are going to have hidden things.
Absolutely.
We had one farmer buy that was, in hindsight, obviously abused by his parents, one 17 year old that became father, one 1,95 dude wanted to bash Noncoms skull in, we prevented that and saved him from jail time, same guy got back to base after weekend, his face beaten to a pulp.
they send him to infirmary as soon as he stood in formation, he looked like a humbled sad dog, personality broken. well, berlin train stations, you dont want start attidude with guys you dont know.
(noncom had it coming, this guy tried to kiss and touch me in the latrine, I was so confused, managed to struggle free some how. I whish I had found my anger, today I would have... i bet I wasnt the only guy who was molested)
and me with adhd in the middle, without knowing it.
i got ONE guy i whish I would have stayed in touch with. he called my roommate once, but they did not take his number. He was so friendly, humane and well meaning, I never forgot that.
well, military service is something. i am glad I did that.
