I donīt really understand the poll question to be honest ....
However, in my case I also enjoyed the army. I learned were my physical abilities and limits are, and I had good friends there. After the basic training I was gunner in the "Marder" tank and also responsible for the armory in the company. Wasnīt too tough then anymore
. I donīt think it changed me or my life at all, it was just fun and a good experience.
