I have been in Australia now for a week and a half and the first thing I can say is how much respect I have gained for soldiers being deployed. I am here for a month and I can barely sleep for thinking about my beautiful lady friend, to go a year at a time without seeing loved ones is something I can hardly imagine. I guess I will have to deal with it when I join up but damn is it hard, and it's not even been a fortnight yet...
Another thing I have noticed is how much I like WA, the firearms laws are more lax than Scotland so there is fun to be had at the range, there are plenty of machines and farms and space, driving costs nothing compared to Scotland and there is plenty of animals to hunt freely. I would happily live here.
The main thing I have to think about is the fact that I have ben offered stable work and a place to live until I get on my feet. I will probably do it either after school or university if I decide to go. Now I'm just 17 and the amount of work here is ridiculous but I don't really know what to do. I have heard the usuall follow your heart stuff but that doesn't help much. If I continue living in Scotland I stay with the people I have grown up with and I stay with the country I grew up in, if I move to Australia I have a head start for the rest of my life doing something I love with various distant relatives and it wouldnt affect my military career as i would join the australian military. I don't really know what to do here and this forum is definitely full of helpful and unbiased people, so I'm asking what you would do in this situation.
As well as that I have lots of family in Australia and I am a citizen so there isn't a problem there. This is all very confusing.
