toughest army training

there is a harder for some special unity

When I was in army, we once run out of coffee during a hard screen-looking-session at the woods, god damn we were broken!

when I was in army (back in the good old 90s!!!!), we were flying with one of those really big helicopters, 40 people at a time!! well, the fllight was around 5 minutes but walking back took the whole night! 30 km! with 30 kg on our backs!!111!

One guy broke down and our walkie talkies had no batteries, so we had to carry him for 10 km to the next town where we called an ambulance from a phone cell! yes, no mobile phones back then...

Then we arrived at "home" in the early morning where we had to wash ourselfs with frozen water. then we had some more running and tests and shooting.

After that my "Grundausbildung" was over and I served drinks in zeh Unteroffiziersheim for 8 months :D

Finnish army. Reason: so many youngsters quit it!

become an english "elite-diver" and after that,you'll luagh about that army training. ;)

just become a lawyer or something sitting around chillin everyday no training :DDD ahh thats the life

Atm at army, watching movies and drinking coffee. We have 5 laptops and this is a "training" at the forest. :)

when i was in army they left us in the forest and made us walk like 30 km's each day with full package and do some useless scouting missions

also during the journey you had to destroy whole fucking russian army, whether it was 3 or 30, you needed to destroy it, once i mined the whole fucking enemy camp then shot a panzer there and fucking destroyed em!!!

when i got to camp i got to sleep an hour before 3doing patrol for 3 hours and another 30km's day. fun times.

if you complained you needed to do same trip again (and kill already killed russian heroes) been there done that i fucking killed em 100 times that week.....

also I need to add that doing 2-man attack with real bullets proning next to each other and then this dude accidently aiming at you made me shit bricks, still having nightmares.

french legion is the most fuckedup place

SAS > Marines

I was part of the Seychelles National Battalion.
Had a good time though with my fellow niggas.
We raped a lot of enemy's and only best mates from Finland were better. Running around for 4 days a week, always carrying medpacks and stuff was quite heavy for me though.

Glad I'm away of all that.

you haven't seen russian army

dutch marines training

This hollidays they were like some years already some youth training weeks in the belgian army (yes they got one! dunno why cuz they don't do anyting but...)
I went there and they asked us in wich group we would like to go.... being in the ardennes couldn't go away without doing the wellknown "chasseurs ardennais" known as the hardest commando section ever (being more efficient everywhere than other Special Forces and hardest than any other section.. only difference they don't jump in parachute)
anyway being there 1 full month passed all the tests wich gave me the opportunity to continue the stage 2 weeks more for a (wich i didn't know) fking not normal Elite training to show us what it was...
Goddamnit that was hard... anyway my favorite part finaly came the SNIPER train...
3days long learned how to calculate the humidity/wind/temperature/magnetic champs and finaly when we all were ready we got taken to the sniper train field.
again 3 hours of explaining us each detail of that fking awesome weapon we would use and the security rulezzz (wich is normal ofc)
finale when time came we were allowed to shoot 3 bullets each... on 800 meters...
and i was proud hitting twice on the 3 that bowl suspended in the air big ball of metal... (was all fking awesome)
only negativ point .... (sleep 23.30 wake up 05.15) OMG

my army time wasn't that bad, first 2 months(basic training) I was stationed near diablos and they drilled us there, lots of physical training and stuff, some tactical training, scouting and all that, crawling on very sharp rocks and through bushes, once they sent us on a tactical scouting mission through some spiky bushes, got out all scratched and bleeding

2 weeks before transfer to another camp we went to a field training, 17 km walk under full equipment through rough terrain and over hills and then 5 days of camping outside while being drilled every day for 10 hours and then 17 km back, that shit was tough

after that I got transferred to a communications training battalion where I was for another 2 months, had field training again but much easier, after those 2 months were done they chose me to stay and take a leadership course and get a rank(private first class) which I completed after 1 month, next few months after that I spent teaching and training the newcomers from the next generation

so now I'm in the reserves with the rank of sargeant major and position of first ranked non-commissioned officer of the communications battalion with the 149th anti-air brigade

oh yeah, and I was among top 3 in disassembling and reassembling AK-47 in my generation with the time of 59sec

I always liked the old Royal Marines' (it is what blackboy means) advert, which you can watch here. The new one (short version) is here. Personally, I honestly doubt it will be any of the European countries who do not actually engage, whether on UN duty or otherwise, in any live combat, or still have conscription. I suppose that means either Israel, Russia, the UK or US.

Seals maybe ?

french legion

when we took a bath in a hole in the ice i sang the whole swedish national anthem while being in the water, damn im tough.

doing army in the northest area in sweden is pretty cool, <3 -30 degrees and windy shooting "panzers" :)

doing the "soldier-test" was pretty funny too, ppl were bleeding on their feet and being pretty crushed in the end.

and my platoon was responsible for the security at Nato's Loyal Arrow training which sweden was responsible for, slept for 5 hours a day max for 14 days and every minute we were awake we were out on missions.
but we got ourselves some nice actions and got to arrest some tards :O)

standing on the roof of our vehicles being 1 meter under those bastards was pretty nice :)

Fuck me, i'd break down within the hour if i'd have to go.
