I'm in the UK and a few friends of mine from school joined the forces back in the 90s. A couple of the lads who joined the army spent a fair bit of time in Bosnia and from what they told me things got pretty dicey for them.

The one who joined the navy I don't think he ever ended up in a conflict zone instead he seemed to spend most of his time bobbing around in the Caribbean and trying to shag anything that moved. All his stories are just around stuff he and his shipmates got up to.
