one time when i thought i was going to get kicked out of college for being a BAD A$$ i went to the army recruitment centre and asked what i could do. they looked at my hands and said my fingers were really thin (i have the hands of an artist ok) so i could only be a regular soldier, which i thought was bullshit as if youre going to go in the army and might die you might as well be a cool dude like a space marine or something. so i didnt go in the army or get kicked out of college.
thanks fingers, youre boss  |

Well, looks like I just got called back to the military for a recap.
Maybe i'll finally get that rank of corporal they promised me.
Also a couple of friends just signed in on monday to the same base I was stationed in.
Aamuja vaan kaikille!

It's actually PFC / lance corporal to be more exact. Korpraali =/= Corporal = Alikersantti |

That is a pretty horrible excuse, if the US army is like that then they would probably refuse me for special forces or something cause I have skinny fingers too. Maybe they are afraid that I will jam my fingers up in battle and won't be able to use them. |

A good 6-7 years ago I bought a CD with Estonian army songs from WW2 (ended up donating it to my grandfather), some really good stuff there  |

Erika is probably my all time favorite. Too bad the Germans weren't that good with their marches & propaganda songs otherwise. Somehow I can't relate to them, nor do I find the melodies interesting.
Soviets, on the other hand...
Naa gvardija
Belaja Armija, čёrnyj Baron
... it's almost like they couldn't do anything besides epic and mighty songs. |

I'm a draft dodger myself, I basically told the doctor that with my use of amphetamine and cannabis I cannot be held accountable for the consequences were you to hand me a firearm. It was mostly bullshit of course but it kept me from going Kashluk. Anyway I hope you had a good time in the army Amis |

I dodged it as well. Was first handed 15 months in Boden, just shy of the polar circle. However we downsized our military just then, so I managed to dodge it by simply asking. |
