yea the food is an issue, enjoy high carb diet on potatoes and bread with kinda slop meat or in case of MREs some ultra processed shit.
But for a fatty - ye, you will lose weight especialy during the initial training, which involves alot of physical work, and you will struggle as hell. After that - it depends on your role, for some they have barely any workout
Only if you're a lard.
If you lift 1/2/3/4 you'll rot there.
This guy's done his service. A pack a day and potato chips, then ice cream. It was the one time in my life I did that and felt like shit.
Everyone thinks it's not stressful while going through it, but just how different it is from normal life is enough. You need at least 1 year to get used to it, and time off.
thirdie here
They give us a large bag of sweets and chips every month here. I devour it in one sitting whereas before joining i would never even think about tasting any of that and i consumed literally zero grams of sugar
Joining t army reversed all this years long built discipline and now i eat like a fat shit again
My friend came out the military obese and with a holier than thou attitude sees everyone as “civilians” now. Never saw an ounce of combat and hes even stupider now then before he joined
>Blue eyed blondes >still ugly as frick
How is this even possible? What the hell is wrong with finns? I bet if the country represented was Sweden, Denmark or Norway we would see plenty of dimes.
Two normal, two half normal and the rest are ogres with some likely not even being real women.
If this is the norm in northern Finland then I think they have bongs beaten for having the ugliest european women.
No. First of all every health problem there is solved with painkillers, no one gives a frick about longterm damage.
You will lose a lot of weight and get fitter in the output sense, yes, but mainly because of a fixed schedule, you will eat slop and train yourself to overeat and indulge whenever you can. Because you burn a lot of calories you will adapt absolutely terrible eating habits, increasing the likelyhood of becoming the unhealthiest kind of fatty the moment you leave (or get put into more lax positions inside the military).
depends on what job you get and what branch. You want some desk job dweeb navy/AF stuff so you can take advantage of 0 stress work environment and cite ancient TSOs that mandate you getting time for the gym during the work day. If you go something like army and work on tanks all fricking day in 90F+ weather and have mandatory morning PT then you're fricked.
>get your torso blown off >can't get out of bed for the rest of your life >even if cute, nurses can't give you handies cuz no dick
Yeah get in the shape of a fricking chicken mcnugget lmao.
Yes. Cozy Navy nuclear engineer who works on a base and has access to a great gym but never has to do bullshit like rationing or pt. Go in as an officer and military life is ez, go in as enlisted and it's shit, but your life was probably going to be shit anyway
except coming out of nupoc sends you to a small boy followed by life on a carrier/submarine for the rest of your career and have by far the worst shore/sea rotation of any officer in the entire military but ok champ, try graduating college first lmao
Finished dismounted platoon commander course recently and now my shoulder hurts like frick. I think it's a bursitis. I'm letting rest but I think I'm fricked for life (any help or ideas is appreciated).
Also my fitness went to shit on that course, just rucking with no time to lift or run, and dog shit sleep.
So no, I don't think the military is good for fitness. It's good to learn a bunch of cool shit and get paid (paid like shit, but paid anyway) to learn.
It’s what got me into fitness. Before joining I was skinny but out of shape. I joined because I wanted to see the world, wear a cool uniform and get free college. When I first got to basic, I was smoked out almost non-stop for the first few weeks. Then the 6-day-a-week PT finally started to yield results. I was running faster, gaining muscle definition and even improving my posture.
After basic trining I started lifting to increase gainz and stay on top of my PT tests. I’m finished my service years ago but I still lift and occasionally run because I like the way it makes me look and feel. The military was a gateway to lifting for me and many others.
It's funny how a mere 100 years ago soldiers were seen as heroes defending their motherland whereas today soldiers (especially U.S soldiers) are seen as low-IQ cannonfodder loser dropouts who are golems for the world elite and Israel.
lol imagine believing this
It's almost always been petty noblemen smashing their people together like toy soldiers until they break and winner gets more resources to indulge himself with. A decent chunk of Roman history boils down to Commander Turboc**t fighting Consul Boyplower over who gets more land, slaves, and wine. Stop acting like every war was headed by Alfred the Great trying to unite a nation against an external foe.
>previous wars were fought over homeland, today wars are fought over money.
The absolute vast majority of wars in history have been between nobles competing with each other. Often within the same country.
It was almost always about personal gain for the benefit of a few individuals. And everyone knew this, including the common warrior. But that was not seen as a tragedy.
If Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk declared war against each other today no one would fight for them unless paid millions. If this was the 1300s, you'd have tens of thousands of men willing to fight for barely any pay.

95% of Americans do not view it this way. You're terminally online.
look up military training / recruitment requirements, do them. If you can't be assed to have the discipline to do this on your own, you will break and you will quit bootcamp.
If you're fat you'll always be fat. You'll lose weight in basic training and AIT, but basic is 9 weeks and AIT a few months. After that you will immediately go back to being whatever you were before. Then I'll get in trouble because its SGT anon's fault you're fat, so I'll haze you for a few months but you'll still eat like a fat frick and fail tape and your PT test again and they'll separate you but it'll be honorable so you'll get a GI Bill unless you're a real shithead.
My roommate at my private boarding school looked like the Finnish soldier in the middle, but even worse because he was as thin and weak as a skeleton with sunken eyes and cheekbones and terrible skin. Despite this, he thought that he was the coolest and hottest motherfricker on the planet. For whatever reason, he was insanely popular. He even somehow managed to get a girlfriend and would talk to her all night at like 3 AM while I was trying to sleep. We got into a fight one night over this, and he actually had the balls to get in my face even though I was the size of the 2 Finnish soldiers on the ends. It still blows my mind how delusional he was and how bizarre reality is.
Unless you plan to sit at the top and order fodder around theres no point in choosing the army over PMC.
You could be sitting on a oil tanker taking pot shots at pirates from a minigun and still get paid more than some fricker sent to demine the area full of ieds in a some third world shithole.
There's no Western PMC that hires people without military experience you absolute fricking dingus.
The third-world PMCs that do will put you in the "expendable" category and you won't be shooting pirates with a minigun.
>Is joining the military a great way to get in shape?
Pretty sure every military prefers endurance over strength. Not sure what you mean by "get in shape". Drop fat? I guess. Get stronger? Sure, not as fast as outside of military.
Honestly god fricking no. When I joined up I was in good shape, 21 minute 5km, 90kg bench, 130kg squat and deadlift. Looked good, felt good, couldn't complain.
Now? I'd be lucky if I could do a 5km run without taking a tonne of breaks. The lifestyle is horrendous and everyone around you, peers, subordinates and leaders all encourage this shit lifestyle. It's like r/plussize or whatever the frick it's called where they spend all day saying oh no sweetie it's completely fine you shit your pants and can't wipe cuz you're too fat but the military is more along the lines of oh no sweetie it's fine if you woke up in a puddle of your own vomit and smoked two packs of gays on a Monday night, here eat this tiny spoonful of chicken and 3000 calories worth of boiled potatoes.
I don't regret taking this job financially or anything and honestly I love actually doing my job. For your health though? You'd feel better if you spent two hours a day huffing asbestos than living like most people in the military. I gave up on a lot of my fitness because you also just don't have cooking facilities most of the time beyond, if you're lucky, a mouldy microwave that would probably give you cancer the moment you turned it on. So getting the protein you need unless you rely exclusively on protein shakes is nigh on impossible. Also you live and work alongside some of the most disgusting people in the world to the point that they could make an Indian designated shitting street seem like a sterile environment. This will inevitably frick with both your physical and mental health when someone crawls out of his shit stained bed and puts on clothes he hasn't washed in a month before shoving his hand in his boxers to stroke his wiener then rub the cum off on a door handle because "it's funny."
tldr no, it's not good for your health
I work in the Defence space. From my own observations the majority of people are either stocky or lanklets. It's few and far between you see athletic or built people in uniform.
The reasons for this are:
Food is lowest bidder quality and usually geared towards filling you up rather than nutritional goodness.
The physical stuff is all endurance related so if you expect to get shredded pray you have god tier genetics because any excess muscle you build will evaporate.
Guard duty (one of the most common duties) is hours of basically doing frick all so you end up snacking or standing around or sat in a little hut watching TV screens.
Background stuff like logistics is a desk job.
Sleep is a commodity and often cut short and not usually 8 hours uninterrupted.
The numbers and skill shortage mean you end up working several roles in a posting which piles on stress, most people cope either through eating or drinking garbage.
Overall If you are a fat frick there may be benefits signing up in the sense you are forced to learn discipline, routine and do more exercise that you normally would if you were just Joe Average - which will lead to losing weight. But in terms of getting a healthy good looking body the military is one of the worst jobs to have; unironically it's IT jobs that give you the most flexibility and free time to self improve; It's just that the profession tends to attract fat and lazy people to begin with.
Finnish conscipt here. Best physique I had when the cut began when entering army. Few months in haven't gone to the gym once as too much other shit. All gains are lost in the following months and takes another year to get close to where I was before going in
The army will destroy your gains. At least before you get through the first year or something like that and eAAverything chills down
Lol the opposite
The food is complete slop and conscripts/recruits tend to overeat sweets to cope with stress
yea the food is an issue, enjoy high carb diet on potatoes and bread with kinda slop meat or in case of MREs some ultra processed shit.

They gave us cigarettes...
Once I got out I felt gross and got in shape again.
Don't worry about it.
My friend came out the military obese and with a holier than thou attitude sees everyone as “civilians” now. Never saw an ounce of combat and hes even stupider now then before he joined
That's funny I see everyone who spent time in the military as a troony govt stooge.
this. also no sleep and a shit ton of cigarettes.
I am in way better shape now
This.
My c**t has mandatory service. You'll get stamina and endurance, but god damn frick how everyone overeats.
You didn't make this thread to talk about that
middle guy is a cutie patootie
Looks like Bobby Hill
Sure, if the shape you want to be in is picrel
There's one Finnish men of purely Swedish ancestry, 2 Fenno-Swedish mutts and 1 entirely Finnish man, you could never guess who is who. chuds BTFO
is that why Finns are either very beautiful or very ugly with no in between?
The only thing beautiful about Finnish women is their camo.
>Blue eyed blondes
>still ugly as frick
How is this even possible? What the hell is wrong with finns? I bet if the country represented was Sweden, Denmark or Norway we would see plenty of dimes.
These are northern Finns. A bit too much inbreeding and sami blood in there.
Two normal, two half normal and the rest are ogres with some likely not even being real women.
If this is the norm in northern Finland then I think they have bongs beaten for having the ugliest european women.
I would hatefrick every single one in this pic after exercising squad tactics for two weeks in the forest. t fingay
er det noen som vet hva dette betyr? kommer finland for å ta oss?
Its because women don't have to go to military, but men have to. So the ones that go are some weirdos
That doesn't seem too igualitarian to me.
Those short gremlin looking women come from eastern finland tho. My team had one back when I was doing my service
Finns and Scandis are the same. They either look like chads or pale mongolian mystery meat.
Women willingly going to army is a self-selecting process. The hotties are going straight to uni and not wasting time trying to serve.
Normal women don't go to army. It's either turbobawds who are there to suck dick or turbodyke discus throwers who are basically men.
Denmark is the cool older brother, Norway is the annoying little brother, Sweden is Allah Mahmoud Muhammad, Finland is the moronic cousin
Don’t they have conscription? Besides all the good looking women were carried off by scandis centuries ago
americans please stop fetishizing us nords, we're people just like you and some of us are ugly some of us look good, it varies like the butt.
No.
slavs also have blue eyes, still look like mongrels
No, at least not basic training like conscripts do.
Closest to camera is pure Finn, the two in the back are Fenno-Swedes and the one in the middle is pure Swede.
t. racial expert
guy in the very back is a swede
t. swede
The chad is a pure swede, the cutie in the middle is a pure finn, and the two other ones are fennoswedes. I'm a finn as well
Yes. It's also a great way to fight for the israelites in charge ... sorry ahem fight your nation.
No. First of all every health problem there is solved with painkillers, no one gives a frick about longterm damage.

Desk jobs are the most stressful
Depends on the military, trade, position, base, presence of conflict, and chain of command.
>get your torso blown off
>can't get out of bed for the rest of your life
>even if cute, nurses can't give you handies cuz no dick
Yeah get in the shape of a fricking chicken mcnugget lmao.
still have to do all the work
Yes. Cozy Navy nuclear engineer who works on a base and has access to a great gym but never has to do bullshit like rationing or pt. Go in as an officer and military life is ez, go in as enlisted and it's shit, but your life was probably going to be shit anyway

Especially if you are Ukrainian or Russian. Will help you to get in a shape of a little container after artillery hits.

Well, maybe if you lack any amount of moderation or restraint. Joining the military will probably help you learn how to behave, at least.
Unless you plan to sit at the top and order fodder around theres no point in choosing the army over PMC.
You could be sitting on a oil tanker taking pot shots at pirates from a minigun and still get paid more than some fricker sent to demine the area full of ieds in a some third world shithole.
