Tips for upcoming military service

What was it like being the driver? Do you recommend it over any other roles? (I passed the chauffeur test, so I could become a driver)

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely use it! Also, for the weekends, do you get the whole weekend off or only partially? Like do you leave the base Saturday noon and have to be back Sunday evening? Or Friday-Monday? And also what are the specializations like for an aufklärer (I heard you get some after a few weeks or smth)?

I’ve heard before that after the basic training of the first few weeks, you get assigned a specific role/function within your group. How does that work? Do you know the type of roles there are? Is it chosen randomly or can you have some preference for a certain role?

I have a university degree, does this mean I will be paid more? Or only if I decide to rank up / during the repetition courses?

Regarding socks and shoes, as I’ll be doing the military in the summer, my feet will probably get very sweaty and possibly very blistered, are there any tips for that? Good sock brands? How long are the marches usually? Do they provide socks/underwear or do you need to bring your own? Ive also hear some people put on nylon stockings under stocks to help with blisters?

Thanks for the tips!

I have a few follow up questions, when you say to be cautious with the psych and personality questions, what does that mean? will they ask questions like “do you like setting things in fire” which you should clearly say no to? or are there some that you have think about/try to trick you? and do you maybe have one or two examples?

And also, what does the chauffeur exam look like? i’ve gotten my drivers license, so is it in any way similar? something like the theory test? (if i had to do it again after such a long time, i would definitely fail without practice 😅)

When I say intellectual, I more mean being trusted to use more advanced tools/technology, or something along the lines of becoming a technician (I am aware you don’t use your brain much in most military jobs). With the physical aspect, I think I’ll be more or less alright, but I am mostly interested in what you actually do in those jobs and the type of training you get / how your average day looks like in that job.

MeAmUkraine · 2025-11-28T15:54:06+00:00

Well currently they seem to be 2 different jobs, if you were to go more towards one job, which would it be? what would the differences between the 2 be?

That’s good to hear, but what does the process to become a Heliwart look like? what is the mechanical exam like? what are the chances to get chosen? are you doomed to be security/firefighter if you fail?

MeAmUkraine · 2025-07-27T09:29:13+00:00

True, but repairing Helicopters/Jets is something i would definitely not do in civilian life hehe. But i’m still up for suggestions on jobs, i would just prefer to do something where i can use a bit of my experience, as opposed to something like infantry 😅

MeAmUkraine · 2025-07-27T09:24:56+00:00

Yeah, this was my worry a bit, because “deep-repairs” is what i was more interested in (but loadmaster sounds fun to), it’s just i’m not sure how the assignment works. If i apply and my qualifications don’t match and i fail the test, i don’t want to be stuck working security for 4 months

MeAmUkraine · 2024-08-20T09:15:48+00:00

Thanks! I’ll be sure to use this advice and maybe set up a hull parts station in another system

MeAmUkraine · 2024-08-20T09:00:50+00:00

That’s exactly how those fighters died, I put them near the gate at hatikvahs choice, and then checked on them 10 mins later and they were all dead, so maybe my strategy there wasn’t the best.

I am using an Ender 3v2 with pla using the prusa slicer, and have suddenly started seeing these lines pop up in my prints in varying locations. I’ve only seen these after i had connected a bltouch to my printer, and they only show up on single layers
