Dear brothers, I've a question about fulfilling my duty as a male citizen of the Republic of Turkey. I'm currently planning to perform my military service as soon as I get my diploma (approx. 1 year from now) when I've officially become a software engineer. This makes me think about some questions (each gets weirder and weirder, as I noticed after writing them);
I can almost recall that I might have asked some of these questions before, but I can't find that post as it must have been a long time ago. Might not even been here I've asked.
- I have somewhat long hair - do I have to get a buzz cut?
- Can I somehow make use of my education that I've got in Sweden, or does it become irrelevant once I become a conscript?
- Does one get a chance to choose any kind of specialization, or is it entirely random what they make out of you?
- Some people (friends, family, doctors) would say that I'm kinda unstable - mentally. I've got some issues and can get kinda physically violent, but that requires some provocation and doesn't really happen out of the blue. I'm perfectly "normal" for 99.9% of the time. However, I'm taking a bunch of pills and can't really quit doing so, so I would have to get my medication during my time in uniform - is this possible? I wouldn't want the officials to know about my conditions as they probably would reject me, but at the same time I need to get my pills.
- What are the odds that I get to slay some cavemen nowadays? I really want to be placed in SE Turkey and get my hands dirty, but I've understood that they are only position professionals in hot areas lately, not to mention that the hunting season is closed due to "peace talks"...
Thanks in advance!
if you are serious about 4 then I would suggest not joining
due to it being a conscription based force , you will have a lot of guys piss you off
