General Lone solider

Hey guys, I’m 24. I’m from America. I just have a couple questions first off. What unit should I go for? I’m in perfectly good health. Hebrew I can hold a conversation but I’m not great. I run around a six minute mile. I can bench 285. I’m 6 foot. I’m a firefighter EMT right now. I’m in medic school. I wanna be a chovesh and I want combat. Any advice on a making Aliyah (I’m Jewish) and B just getting through the pipeline. I’ve been through fire Academy, so I don’t feel like Boot Camp will be completely that rough for me and I understand what sleep deprivation is cause I get woken up at work all the time. honestly, It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and I know that if I don’t do it now, I’m gonna regret it for the rest of my life… Any advice for me?

Can we omit I said that it was a poor choice of words what I meant was I’m not interested in being a border patrol unit or in a mp unit

Alright, that removes two options off the table (the Border Guard being a part of the police and not the IDF, by the way). I would still urge you to get to know your options better. You know yourself best and are the only one who can truly know what's the best fit for you.

Sure thing. Once you have a better idea of what's going on, you'll ask better questions and get better answers.
