"My balls are made of steel"

Welcome to the forum mate and 'Good Luck' with your intentions.

If what you state above is TRUE, you will have nothing to worry about when you complete your period of service, you will make a fortune exhibiting them to the general public, you should be able to charge at least 10 Euros a 'Gander', phenomenal!!.

Shouldn't that be €10 a gonad?

why would you want to join the Cyprus army if you don't have too?
If only I was so lucky

The CNG is nothing to worry mate. You will probably have to do only 6 months anyway.
I had trained many charlies back in the day.

I am not worried one bit I actually want to do it! Most of my family are based in Greece now and only very few remain in Cyprus, what happens when I enroll and pass out etc...will I remain in cyprus in the barracks and what help will i get with accommodation because I will then be seen as a cypriot citizen right?

Did you know that you have the choice to do your military service in Greece and it should still count in the same way as doing it in Cyprus. Just check on terms and such like to see what suits you best.

- (I only mention this in case you want to be around more members of your family for when you have leave etc)

I am currently in Greece at the moment so maybe I will look into it, is they anywhere specific i shall look while im here? Thanks

Any of your older male relatives should be able to guide you (or talk you out of your enthusiasm ) - but I don't know where you should start your enquiries which won't immediately initiate the process of conscripting you before you are ready - although they seem to have more exemptions, leniency, than the CNG. Honestly, I tried asking the HC in London something about my son's schooling (12-13 y.o. at the time) and before I could say 'euharisto' - I was transferred to talk to some recruiting general with a gruff voice that was all set to give my son his serial number.

Anyway, here's the Hellenic Forces' website, which one of your relatives might help you translate:

- What you need to determine for certain is your serving within "the joint defence area doctrine between Greece and Cyprus", from what I can gather.

I have always wanted to join the army since I was little, and I am proud of my routes and love Cyprus and Greece to pieces. To be honest I've worked solid since i have left school and i fancy a change and wouldn't mind aiming a rifle and blowing a few turks away in the future...

Err.. GiG's, the palikari is a Kypraio.
Probably has zero affiliation to Greece.

What you need is not the army, it is a doctor. Why don't you do yourself a favour and book yourself in to the nearest psychiatric and tell them what you have said here. You can be cured.
