    (just dropping by to say hi to you guys)
    Private Shura of the Singapore Armed Forces!
    After months of hellish training in a swampy island of Singapore's coast, I have completed my Basic Military Training. Having learnt the basics of jungle combat, bayonet fighting and the use of an M16 assualt rifle, I shall now detail my growth using game terms in the past few months:

    Gained Ranger Level 0. (Apprentice Level, after sneaking around in the jungle and camoflauging myself for months)
    Constitution +1 and Wisdom + 1
    Enough Experience Points to get me to the next level of whatever class I currently am.

    Just had to share this with you guys since I graduated today.

    Great, Getting through Boot is the hardest part. Congradulations. In the Singapore Army, what specific job have you been trained to do? Infantry, Artillery, etc. or are you going to be a desk jockey?
    I did 4 years in the US Army in the Artillery. I just loved firing the "Big" guns.

    Shadow, A rifle is a pop gun compared to an 8-Inch Howitzer. When I say "Big" Gun, I mean "BIG".

  7. Congratulations shura

    Did 1 year in the Norwegian navy myself, no jungle there. Pretty much spent all 12 months raising a flag and open a gate on a coastal fort, the remaining hours of the day we watched tv, played playstation, sleeped and partied.... Not much of a military service, but I had so much fun.

    Bayonet fighting?

    Are you trained in that just in case Napoleon and his troops set their sights on Singapore?

    Sarcasm aside, congrats. I'd rather kill myself/others than join the army, but that's just my personality.

    P.S. For all of you running your own nation, don't be discouraged by my lack of enthusiasm for the armed forces. Even though I won't join your army, I will be more than happy to run it. :D

    Hey, WELCOME BACK!

    I just want to inform you that we now have here at SP a new dediacted flamer and :mad: smiley user: that's Extremist.

    So you two will have to decide who will be the one to start topics like I remember from old times, like:
    "Fear my wrath!!!" and such...

    [​IMG] It's what you're going to be in some 30 odd posts. Unless you buy something from Amazon through this site or send in some useful stuff to Tal on one of the many games here at SP. What about me? I'm working on it, I'm working on it give me time. *Puts on my thinking cap.

    Huraay for pot-bellied Ettercaps!

    Shura, any ettercaps roaming in those jungles? Better get your bayonet. Just kidding, good job man!

    [​IMG] Congratulations. So, did you have to stay awake for days on end or go w/o food/water for a while? I've heard some interesting stories about boot here in the US. Everyone I knew who did it, even the athletes, came back in the best shape of their lives.
