Not so much...
Israeli Defence Forces...
Mandatory is 3 years for boy and 2 years for girl. You join the army once you finish your high school and turn 18.
The salary isn't high, it varies from 80$ to 200$ and there are exceptions that you get 250$ or so (it is decided how much you get based on level of risk). This salary rate is only when you're in the regular service time (3yrs BOYS 2yrs GIRLS), if you want to stay in the army after you get a higher salary.

Interesting responses. Does anyone here participate in the reserves? I've been thinking about going into the Army's JAG Reserve some time in 2009. I've been considering it for a few years, but next year would work out well for me.

One thing I don't get about the US army.
Are the Marines part of the army? Are the Rangers part of the army? What's the difference between those two?

 

[srozzman]

I think the marines are separate, and go into a hostile zone first, ahead of the army? correct me if im wrong

The Reserves can be great, but be prepared to be activated to either go A) downrange or, B) some installation either CONUS OR OCONUS for upwards of a year or more.

1) The Marines are a part of the Department of the Navy.

2) The Rangers are a part of the Army.

3) A "Marine" is a name given to anyone in the Marines, be they paper-pushers or combat arms. The "Rangers" is an elite (but not quite up there with Special Forces) group of usually Infantrymen specialized in combat operations with in the US Army.

I'm considering.

I really am.

 

[guyx1992]

update: tomorrow I'm finally joining the army.
Anyone else here joined the army since I opened this thread?

Mounties =  RCMP. They look funny with their red coats and camp hats, yeah, but that's about the same thing as your Marines Dress Blues.
Speaking of Marines... I got one of their boonies. In terms of those watchcaps worn by them recons, I guess I can go pick up a black tuque anytime now.
