G'day ruffy jnr,
I discharged from the army in 2006 after 11 years in. Recruit training has certainly changed since I went through, but I remember that time as the most difficult. You just have to remember that it is recruit training and not what the army will be like when you complete your IET's. I have absolutely no regrets ! I really enjoyed my time in, met some great mates, travelled many times overseas and all over Aus. Have a really good think about which job position you would like to do. I spent the majority of my time in Aviation, which is a great Corps to be involved in. I was easily employable in the civilian world when I left. The training and qualifications I obtained set myself up for the fantastic job that I have today. Work hard, and it can be a very rewarding career. Feel free to PM me if you have any Q's or want some info.
Hope it all works out for you
