sorry to hear that malek.... It's to bad you can't visit syria now, it's really changed....oh well, your better off in canada...I'm not sure what's the duration of the army service, but I DEFINATLY do not plan on going....it's not fun!:nervous: I'm currently 18, so i'm supposed to be doing the service, but i got an extension of time, due to the fact that i'm currently studying... It's a very complicated process, but i'll be delaying it until i finish my university... then i'll have to pay $15,000 so that i won't have to join the army:eek: :whip:
oDrori....do you still have to join if your the only child?
And...i heard that if your in a religous school, you don't have to join the service!???? |
I wanted to have an extension because i'm in university, so i get all the paperwork done and everything... then finally its refused why? because those idiots in syria called my university and asked some personal info about me (to confirm the info they got from me), my university refused to hand info over the phone to an unknown person. All the effort to get every paper approved and verified from the university and stamped with the uni seal for nothing... ing idiots they think they're in dictatorship-Syria and can ask and get whatever they want... morons:rolleyes:
and I'm not bribing my way thru with that 15K so I can set foot in Syria... they can go themselves... their loss. |

In answers to 3 of the quesitons:
A) We start @ 18, depending on where you are going to serve, you might even be called to begin training on August of you end of 12th grade summer vacation :( :( :(
B) Service over here could vary between engineering & research, "Kravi" IE fighting which means securing and also participating in anti-terrorist actions, and also intelligence...
C) As much as I know, if you're an only child you need both parents' permission to join the army...
The thing that prevents me from deserting, isn't the whole loss-of-citizen-rights thing... It's the fact that all of my friends are gonna go, nearly all of Israeli citizens go, hell, even Israeli Arabs, Druzis go there! And suddenly the all important me will come and say "No thank you, I'm too lazy to risk my life too"?
The only Isreali citizens not servinga are the orhtodox Jews... They are excused off army since they study religion instead, apparently helping us in spirit in battle instead of physically. You will find many of us who resent that, I personally can't wait for the day religion will get seperated from state over here. |

no compulsory military service in the UK!
and i don't think there's any compulsory military service in Sri Lanka either! (where my folks r from)
either way, im still considering joining the reserves during/after university....better start burning off that fat! :whip: |

tell me about it... i'm waiting for the day it will be seperate in all other countries! I'm soo sick of this, of all countries who do everything according to religous beliefs.... I can't stand anything religous any more..... sorry to say that, but all the problems it's causing is unbearable!

| No one should be forced to give up years of their life to joina military. I mean, if war breaks out, then you may have been forced to give your life away. How right is that? |
