>>1424100I tried to enlist in the italian army once, the only tips I can give you are:
1) strengthen your handgrip, that's the reason why I got rejected, embarassing, but it is what it is;
2) if you have an idealized vision of the military of these highly disciplined FOR KING AND COUNTRY super patriotic type of guys, just forget it; I don't know what the military culture is like in Canada, but in Italy anyone wanting to join the military is seen like a moron, and, the people joining the military are the types of people who are at the end of their rope and don't know what the fuck else to do in life, hardly the motivated kind of folk. Abandon all idealisms ye who enter.
You should also consider carefully what joining the army will entail, what really is there in it for you? What are you looking for in the army? Some kind of purpose? That will really depend on how cool you think the military is: if you're a military nut, then go ahead, if not, I suggest you think twice, this is a decision that will require serious commitment on your part and is NOT to be taken lightly, your life is on the line here, don't just YOLO it, think it through, make all the verifications necessary to ensure that this is what you actually want and you're not just enlisting because you saw some some cool YT gun videos or played your CoDs and Battlefields. Uncertainty on what to do in life when you're young is something that can really fuck you over: do away with what you'd like to believe what the military might be like and instead look for information on what it's TRULY like, the cons and benefits of it, then make your decision. I'm assuming you're relatively young, (<25 y.o.) it's ok to be undecided at that age, but undecidedness is no excuse for stupidity, again, make all the verifications necessary to ensure this decision is something that is actually going to benefit you, something that actually aligns with your beliefs and desires, then at the end of it all make your call
