I was an army cook and a real bad one, I went in to be a pilot but they made me the cook.
I went in looking for cheap training and ended up killing people, lots of them for peace
As a "peace keeper", your ass is rented to the United Nations at about
US$500. a day, of that you get US$14.35
As a 'non combatent' cook you don't SEE combat, that's CRAP.
Boredom TOTAL Boredom will drive you nuts, and you will do anything
for excitement, even delivering the mermites (eskies,coolers, food flasks)
to the 'suckers' who if not eating your food are in the body bags you'll be bringing back, you'll be drinking and selling vannilla escence by the keg
again for the above reasons.
If you are the brainy type you'll be the medic, that way you get to go thu the pockets of those in the body bags, and like many, sell the odd morph on the side.
As a cook I toured Africa, Iraq, Afganistan, Cent America, Europe and SE Asia, with ALL english speaking armies and more, it has not made me a better person and like many will carry the scars for life and after.
Wise Up Numb Nuts: This is no game.
Looking for a future stay with what you KNOW, stay with whats in RANGE.
