Oh and add to that Poland for sure.
There was time i wanted to join, but I wanted to make a career in the army. I was trying to join the academy, didn't make it. Who knows maybe i wasn't good enough but I've seen a guy who couldn't do a freaking one push up, didn't have any respect for our commanding officer and he get in !? Damn its 60% about cash, 30% about yours uncle's rank and there is the 10% about your skill. Polish army sometimes I think has more old type fat and drunk Generals than there are conscripts, its a bloody relic from Warsaw Pact.
And plenty of good officers are being sacked. Now i've got a letter as well, but fuck it I soonner join British Army than Polish, at least there i would have a opportunity to learn something more than peeling potatoes.
BTW. My friend served over a 6 months on Golan Hillis with UN and over 10 moths in Poland and he was sacked for no reason eaven when he wanted to stay, like think what is a fu***ng point of getting a new noob every year that doesn't want to serve when you could have a lot of expirienced staff that wanted to stay but they were refused to do that.
