T2 Or The Answer To "how Did Your Physical Go"
So today I went to take my physical examination for the german army (aka, "Bundeswehr"). Rather, I was ordered there. Some people decide not to show up and the MP picks them up at home, so it's better to follow the "invitation". The people (except for the doctor) were all nice there.
Anyway. The examination turned out to classify me as "T2" which is the second best result one can get there. Means I am physically fit and intelligent enough so they want me as a soldier for the reserve army. I still have a choice to do civil service, I haven't decided yet though. Old peoples homes or youth hostels are not something i want to do...
Service would be 9 months (3 months for the grunts, then 6 months in either the airforce, navy or army).
I can voluntarily extend my service, but apparently that is connected to the duty to be in an abroad mission, which means if I stayed in the armed forces longer then 9 months I'd be so lucky to go to Afghanistan, Kosovo or some other nice warzone -.- Currently that's not really something I fancy.
I got some suggestions where they might put me into service if I join: Artillery, Parachute, MP, truckdriver, aircraft maintenance, some office or a plain grunt soldier.
Anyway, so this is the result of today...
