Yup. Tomorrow i'm joining the army for a minimum 3 years period.
Which basically means i won't be here much.

I just wanted to thank you guys and of course Philipp and Tony for keeping this Blog / Forum alive.
I'm glad i hooked up with many people and acknowledged me with so much knowledge.

Thank you so much, and i hope i'll have enough time to read here during my service .
David.

Good luck David!

You'll be missed around these parts. I hope you have fun.

Hey David , all the best..!!

Bootcamp is always good for survival techniques :)- Who know's maybe you will choose a career in the army as an information technology worker.. keep your mind and options open.

Keep in touch and don't be a stranger!!

Kind words indeed. I hope your time in the army is an exciting one.

Good luck David, as Sam said, you'll be missed. I'm sure it will be an invaluable experience and I (and I guess most of this community) hope to see you back soon.

Good Luck! As said above you will be missed.

I thought you where on this forum before me but I just checked and looks like I was, although you have 3 times as many posts :D

Good Luck!

All the best, David! We'll all miss having you around here as often as you are :)

הצלחה

come home safe – we'll miss you

Good Luck David! Bring a camera with you. My grandfather did that back in the 40's and the pictures are amazing to look at today.

Hey David,

If you need an officer on your side, drop me a line...doing my time in good ol' Tzahal as well...You hitting up a combat position?

Wow, hope you have an awesome time! It's something I would never do, partly because i'm lazy, and partly because I'm scared of things that go bang, but I hope to see you back here soon, and that you have a great , exiting time!

Thank you so much you guys. It really means a lot to me.
I hope to get updates pretty often.

I have no idea really. All i know is the date and time. :/
I'll update my position when i'll have more details.

Well, it's the law here. :)

I thought it was voluntary. It reassures me in some way, because the only force I would consider enrolling for is the UNPK force (which you can't actually do).

All the best dude!

David : Israeli law obliges you to join the army for THREE YEARS?! wow! Here in France, we have... one day. We just see a DVD about French troops, fill a form (a quiz about our general knowledge) and sometime visit some barracks... lol. I'm note sure it's an obligation, it is just required to get driving license ^^.

what!!! You HAVE to join the army!!! Here there's nothing like that!!! Then again we've never really had a war. Except that one with the English. But like, everyone has them, no? Lol

Enlisting for 3 years is mandatory?

Good luck David.

Hey David, Good Luck
if you ever get time off do comeback to the forum and share something

We'll miss you.

Good luck to you David, all the best!

Well, if i'm not mistaken, Israel is the only country which obligates people to enlist the army at the age of 18. It's 3 years for men, and 2 years for women.

Many people say that the army has showed them many ways of life. It's kinda like maturing.

I know i'll make the most of it, so don't worry about me. I can't run much (flatfoot) so i won't be doing something too serious.

Thank you all once again.
I'll keep in touch when i can.

Cool, mature well David!

(on a side note, my Lithuanian friend had to return home when he was 18 to participate in the army for a year, or pay 2000 euro!)

ObSnarkRemark: What are you enlisting that army FOR, David? ;-))

# "I'm enlisting the army"

lol..
Well i'm currently in bootcamp. But i'll return home tomorrow probably. (Right now i'm using my phone)

I should be enlisting to something with computers and such..
But i don't know yet for sure.

As for now, i'm doing fine :)

Tell us what you see (20% non-Google)? Good luck.
