Andy,

My brilliant military career was the result of being drafted when they were still able to draft us (stopped now). So I spent a year in military service during 1990-1991 learning to drive a DAF YA4440 4x4 truck and becoming a radio/telex operator. After training, since we were temporarily out of enemies (main focus on the pre 1990 days was on the DDR / Eastern Block threat), mainly being bored and doing guard duty (with an Uzi ).



4x4 offroad driving was fun and I did own a couple of 4x4s as a result. Still want to buy myself one of those DAF trucks, but they're still expensive and a bit difficult to store.

In those days the guns of choice were the FN HP, UZI and FAL rifle.

Nowadays it's the usual kit, Glock 17, Diemaco M16 clone, Minime, MAG machineguns.
The Uzi was phased out in 1998.
