Met some Israeli soldiers yesterday...
Well I talked with two Israeli soldiers yesterday. I found out some interesting things about their Army. Supposedly females are allowed to serve as instructors for combat units. They also have a infantry unit that is both male/female! I told these guys that would never happen in the Marines and they were as shocked as I was. They say the reason for this is because Israel is so small and everyone has to join the Army at 18. Airborne school is also open for any mos and you can go their at any time during your military career (3) years with request! I wish we could just go to any school like that...:(. Well to wrap things up both of the soldiers were combat reporters who were airborne qualified and have served in Gaza and Lebanon. They also said anyone can join the Israeli Army and they will teach you Hebrew before you go off to training.
