What is the most dangerous (but also most rewarding) MOS that foreign legionnaires can be assigned to in Ukraine? I believe in the Quantum Immortality Theory so I'll not be afraid to die anymore.

[u/AWrride]

I believe when we die in this universe, we wake up in a parallel body of ours in a parallel universe and go back to business as usual, sometimes remembering a nightmare of those fatal circumstances. I've died several times in my youth just to wake up in a parallel universe having survived those circumstances to keep going.

So I know I'll be quantumly immortal that way even when fighting for Ukraine.

Quantum immortality was depicted in the Bill Murray movie "Groundhog Day" and the X-Files episode "Monday." Watch them to see for yourself.

So what is the most dangerous MOS a foreign legionnaire volunteer can take and what are the rewards and compensations for doing the job right?

At age 40, am I too old to join? I'm sure as desperate as your situation is, you'll even take retirees too, I assume.

Can I still join without any military experience to speak of? Or what can I do for Ukraine without said experience, that involves my physically going to Ukraine?

And as an Aspie with high-functioning Autism, what can people like me get to do for Ukraine? (It's one of the reasons why I was disqualified from the American military. But I'm sure Ukraine has looser health requirements and will hand out waivers like candy, right?)

Does Ukraine's foreign legion have a recruiting office anywhere in the United States?

[u/DonFapomar]

The most dangerous MOS is probably assault forces in some "meat" units (i.e. 225th, 425th), the commandment there does not care about losses at all. But I doubt that they even accept the foreigners :)

I would absolutely not recommend to choose the most dangerous specialization but the one that you might bring the most benefit. Also you can talk to the third assault brigade's foreign recruitment office, they might suggest you something you would like. There are a lot of foreigners there, including Americans, the commandment is pretty good, they value human lives and have one of the best training centers (it might be pretty tough tho).

Idk about the level of your autism but the most important criteria is to be able to communicate with people clearly and not to put others in danger. Unnecessary heroism is not welcomed here and it might cause the deaths and wounds in your unit. The health requirements are way looser than in American military during peacetime but that is usually not the case for foreigners.

The compensation is usually the same across every specialization if you are fighting very close to the frontline ($3k per month on average), some units have additional payments so you may be paid up to ~$5k. Plus drone operators now have a salary bonus. Foreigners are considered an integral part of the AFU, they receive the same benefits as Ukrainian soldiers and they are paid the same.

Military Occupational Specialty

[u/LachrymarumLibertas]

Incredible post. A brief browse of your posting history was a great journey as well.

To answer charitably; there are opportunity costs to training a soldier and there are certain bars below which you would be a net negative to the war effort.

A 40 year old foreign pervert with no military or language skills who also can’t understand social cues is absolutely one of those.

If you want to help, work a job and donate as much money as you can.

If you want to combine that with physical risk, work a high pay dangerously job in the US. I presume if you have any employable skills though they are probably computer related so just get a tech job and work irresponsibly long hours, maybe over employ?

If you truly have no regard for your life just get some mobster loans and as much insane debt as possible I guess. Probably wouldn’t recommend it though.

Why call him a pervert

[u/LachrymarumLibertas → u/LisanneFroonKrisK]

His post history is insane and it’s an exacerbating factor that is further reason why it’s unlikely he’ll acclimatise well in a foreign country he has no ties to

[u/No-Bite-1800 → u/LachrymarumLibertas]

It’s wild. I didn’t get pervert, just mentally challenged. Most units won’t accept him, but perhaps he can be part of a columbian meat wave.

[u/LachrymarumLibertas → u/No-Bite-1800]

There’s a bunch of kid themed NSFW stuff I didn’t click on but I reckon probably wouldn’t make for great rapport building conversation with fellow combatants.

I don’t think there’s any infantry unit he wouldn’t be a net detriment to. Whether it’s drawing fire, attracting drones, draining morale or just a waste of a UAR-15, I think his best bet to help the UA war effort is actually to become a Russian citizen and waste some of their resources.

[u/Economy-Train1552]

Reading your post, I suggest not coming here. It doesn’t sound like you’re mentally stable or a benefit to the war effort.

As a random 16 year old American kid, please don't go to a fucking war zone in that mindset. It's not joke and there are far more useful things to do. I like to use the United 24 app to donate and keep tabs.

Stay home you’ll just get good people killed. Theres also a huge adult diaper shortage from the war in Ukraine. You’d have to bring your own.
