Joining the army
Was speaking to a friend the other day who had spent a year with the Territorial Army and I must admit I was half tempted to sign up!
Why spend money on a gym and a personal trainer when you can join the TAs (not the CS one!) and get paid for getting fit. Plus you learn about commanding a troop, attack and defend strategies (which would be good for CS!) and get to shoot with real guns.
Time committment seems to be limited to weekends and weekday nights, but the minimum is only 27 days a year, or 19 days a year if you go into the "specialist" route, i.e. i could be an accountant for the army! You sign up for 3 years, but can cancel at any time.
Major downside though is that you could get called up for active service and with all the world instability at the moment (caused by mad men such as Bush so I was vigarously told the other night) it's a pretty big downside!
