and the only real problem is my exam results come out...the equivalent to A levels... offers from Uni also come out...

The camp is a one off opportunity, and the only way to get onto this course is to do really well on the range at your recruit camp, which I did. If I dont go on this camp then I wont be able to ever do this course again. Hardly anyone gets this opportunity anyway.

I go through phases where I really want to do it, an then I really dont, because of results next week and shit like finding housing and employment...

Fuck guys, Im even kinda scared that Ill start fucking up on camp...

Fuck it, well I just accepted it and Im off to it on Saturday.

I feel kinda sick....

if ur in the army dont you train to be a marksman anyways, isnt it a requirement you can shoot straight

A marksman is advanced at shooting. Everyone can shoot, thats a soldier. Marksman is a professional

Go in with a game plan and you should feel more comfortable--try not to go in blind.

Do you know any of the higher ranks you could talk to?

Marksman is like snipers and such, right?

You can't go to Uni later? Or try the course some other time? Just leave the Army, do Uni, then go pass the course again. Afterwards, go back into the Army.

If you go to the Uni there's a lot less of a chance of getting bombed and dying a horrible death leaving your entire family behind.

Just do really well at your recruit camp next time after you go to school. And work out a lot at the school. Play it safe.

I'm guessing a Uni = University, and a University is a college, right?

If dogs could talk, this is what he'd say.

too bad im classified as an infantry[im a 3rd sgt] and i dont have the chance to hop over to become a sniper.

o well army's over for me anyways.

what i recommend is.. proceed for ur uni education first.once u're done with that, get into the army. with a degree scroll, ur promotions will be much faster and it'll hold much more potential for you to reach the top brass.
