Poll: If you had to, what position in the Armed Forces would you take?

[Agayek]

Ideally, if I absolutely had to join the military, it would be as a pilot. Not really sure what and honestly don't care too much, just something I'd like to do.

The poll list is quite silly, to put it mildly...

I'm an artillery observer in reserve so I think I'll stick with that.

Every country has different names for the different armed divisions, furthermore the escapist only lets you pick 9 options. It serves the task just fine.

Ok... the bottom 5 are also the top 3 choices...! :S

Not a very big selection either...

I am already in... and my job isn't there (Training). So that's what I do! I am Air Force... so I went for that!

As above, I could start a doodle poll, include every single available military position and then invite all the escapists t register, an then vote... but meh.

Seriously? Whilst you might not be on day-to-day patrol and your chance of getting killed in a contact are pretty low, things like artillery tend to be pretty indiscriminate.

I thought artillery was obsolete.

Mortars and other indirect fire aren't. They're commonly used in asymmetrical warfare, for instance in Iraq.

Sniper. I have an irrational fear of bullets coming in my direction. I am, however, pretty accurate if I try.

What's the difference between Army Grunt and Marine or is the Army grunt more of a frontline duty?
I guess the position I would take is maybe Engineer well depending if there are computer involve (gathering data etc). Otherwise I would go as an Marine.
