I was in the army in REME and loved every single day of it. Its a great life for single people, if you are married or long term relationship (that you want to keep) its a different story though.
I still have friends I served with still in service and done Afghan and Iraq, and they say their time in Afghan is 10 times worse than the service we did in NI - and if you sign up today you have to expect you will go to theatre and fight. But that is what you train for.
I have no regrets in having been in the forces, it taught me some discipline and skills you will not get in any other career - and is the best grounding anyone can have in life.
