My first step to the German Army began this summer





At first I want to say everything is just a personal experience, it could be that others could be that other people may have experienced other expressions. I know I have to improve my English but still remember its a foreign language for me.



The first step is to get information for yourself if you are interested, after that you must be aware of that you can risk your life for peace. I personally needed a month for my decision if it is worth.



After you sent you application you have to wait one to three months after you get an answer, the wait time is called "Deutsche Bürokratie" in Germany :D, it means that they control all what you have done in you life. Which school you visited and what your family members are doing at the moment. After this process you get invited to a 3 day trip to the next casern.

I will describe my three days with so many details as I can, but thirst I want to add that I want to join the German Navy ( its called Marine in German) so I had to travel 10 hours to Wilhelmshaven by train.





The first day:

It could be 8 hours but the train organisation called "Deutsche Bahn" were striking for an indefinite period this day. So I was late on the first day, but they were not angry, because it was not my fail.

At first you get a nice greeting and some warm food. Which I did not got because I was late :D. After that they make 4 man room groups and you should better become friends with your mates because they can help you to get the best score at the tests by supporting with nice words.

The first day ended at 22 o clock and we are not allowed to speak at our room after 22:15. So there were not much time to talk. But I did not sleep very well because the beds were very uncomfortable.



I will add the other two days tomorrow. I hope I will get much feedback and hope there are people which are interested in this topic. I want to add that my real journey in the Army starts in two months so do not be disappointed if I can not share so many information for now. I will share my preparation and my personal feelings based on the relationship with my family, friends and my girlfriend. And how I think it will change in the next time.
