Well I'm off!

[mc9mm]

I'm leaving tomorrow to become a tank-commander in the Swedish army.
I will not have so much spare time so I won't hang out here
so much anymore I'm afraid.
No I'm not a war-freak, military service is mandatory here in Sweden.
Anyway, take care and son't do anything I would'nt do.
Hmm, I just can't imagine this place without my very long
and often unnecessary posts! ;)
Hopefully I will get permission to install a car-stereo of
epic proportions in the tank so I can listen to Randy Rhoads.
I mean would'nt 80's metal be a good way to scare the enemy,
after all they are playing Metallica in those terrorist-camps
as a torture-method, so imagine some Krokus blasting out
of huge 10.000w speakers, we wouldnt even have to fight, they would
probably surrender immediately!

Ok now even this post is getting too long, so I'll wrap this up
with a nice picture of the vehicle I'll be spending a year in.
Have a good one!

I once read somewhere that if you run from someone they only have a 4-100 chance of hitting you, and even then it's highly unlikely that they'll hit a vital organ, so........RUN!!!

Hahaha, just kidding man, have a safe trip.

Sadly, no matter how neutral and peaceful you are, there'll always be those who want to hurt you. Although Sweden does have a certain degree of attack capabilities, their military is primarily defensive.

It's kind of funny actually... Scandanavia has a higher percentage of handguns, rifles and full-automatics owned per capita than anywhere else in the world, but they only have like 10 firearm deaths a year.

[Incidents Happen]

About the deaths with firearms...

Think about this-

If EVERYONE has a gun, what's the chance you're going to try to kill somebody?

There is no advantage, when everybody has Death Machines on them.

Guns are not the only thing that can kill/harm somebody , any knife/axe/etc. can do the job and these can't be banned of course ... It's the people not the tools.

[PonyOne]

That was sort of what I was alluding to. It's discipline. Hell, think about it, if you have a pen and enough of a jab you could easily kill someone... and landing a few good punches or kicks will do it too.

If someone really wants to kill someone, they'll find a way to do it... guns just make it more easy.

God knows I can vouch for that.

Man I swear, in army you will gain weight more than ever so be careful. Swedish army isn´t hard, you´ll get much time off, and it´s cool to try somthing new.

I´m from Sweden too but I skiped the army. Not my thang.

[mc9mm]

Not hard?
I've lost 12 pounds, it's almost "Full metal jacket"!
Anyway, it's kinda fun, over and out.

[noticingthemistake]

I don't know you very well mc9mm, but best of luck to you man! Hopefully you'll come around again.

[theeshredder]

YEAH MAN HOPE TO SEE YOU POSTING AGAIN REAL SOON.
