hey,
some people steal cars, other people drink and get into fights, i never did this. i was way more stupid. even though i have no criminal record and never been stopped by the police or anything similar; as far as i know....
im wondering, with my misspent youth can i still apply to be in the RFA?
(i was stupid and volunteered for a short time - around a month or so with wikileaks and within the last year came into breif contact with an orginisation which supports the pkk - and i asked the embassy for guidance as to weather they view them as a terrorist orginisation, they do and i disengaged immediatly. I felt lost and i was looking for family on some level I saw how ******* bullshit they all are... my views have changed 180 and i deeply regret this) i was 23 when i was involved with wikileaks and i censored the release of the Afghan war logs; i disagreed with them releasing them at all however i figured you cant stop them so may as well help protect our allies although this did mean i viewed secrate material - the usa classified this as such it was patrol reports.) i feel like a ******* muppet. seriously.... at the time i thought the military where wrong but ive sence changed to believe that the armed services do a **** of a lot of good in terms of humanitarian aid, anti narcotics - i have always hated narcotics and never done drugs nore would i or anti piracy work; once you had a pirate chasing your ass you soon understand the use of a coalition navy.
the pkk i was not invoved with at all and when i said engaged i mean the oppertunity to buy a tshirt the funds of which i presume would fund them and i knew them to be a terrorist orginisation (they are based in syria and turkey and are left wing in idiology) it was in a left wing autonomous cafe; i havent been back since it sold cheap coffee and had a community space, the culture in the country i am in has a focus on antifascism as there is unfortunatly an increasing normilisation of fascism here including direct violent threats to the lgbt community - theres currently no government here because of the impass of fascists vs left wing parties. As a trans person who is 30 and also gay its life and death, i dont have a choice of being neuteral about non violent anti fascists. the cafe was blown up by fascists a few years ago. im exhausted with politics: politics is not my ship to sail with any longer..
i was raised to be against the military; i joined the civil defence here in this ally nation and it taught me that my parents where bullshit, all the people involved in the civil defence and army i know and have met here are litterally the nicest people you could ever want to meet not blooddrinking savages like my dad and mum said. i learned how rules of engagement and laws of war work because of the contact i had with the civil defence which taught me courses in miliatry leadership, firstaid, and im a uk citisen and live in a nordic nation.
does this mean i would be automaticlly rejected from applying to the Royal Fleet Auxilary - im a qualified and active sailor through and through; having done my basic safty and working with the nordic countrys boat core used to defend the country if they where attacked i do so in a civilian role. at no stage have i attended anything in a military role or used violence. I currently work as a sailor in a major port.
hope this question doesnt annoy anyone. i know i have been stupid but yeah i dont know what to doas i desperatly wanna sail wider
