OK well i have 3 brothers who are in the defence forces.. and to be honest they love it. The money is good and they get to travel. My brother who is 22 has already been in the army ( He was a Paratropper got to jump out of planes everyday) and now is in the navy. At one stage my parents expected me to go to the defence forces i wouldnt mind going to the navy but then i saw my cousin who was about the same size of me about 50 - 56kg and when she came back from recruit training she was build like a brick s*h*thouse. So yeah i that freaked me out. But it depends on the person. Like my 16 year old bro i dont think he would be good because when someone is yelling at at him he would dish it back definatley...
