Specific Military to join?

Can I join the Polish Navy without going to the Sea Coast? I'm wondering if at an Army Office I can ask to join the Navy, instead of joining there for the Army specifically.

Hey man, it looks like you've been trying/thinking about joining the Polish military for the last 8 years. My opinion, do with it what you will, is that it is perhaps a little too late to make a career out of it.

However, one place where they will always take you is Wagner. Benefits of joining Wagner:

1) Gain combat experience - GUARANTEED
2) No boring office positions!
3) Motivated colleagues
4) Many opportunities for growth
5) Free life insurance
6) Travel the world
7) Learn new languages

Drawbacks:

1) Life expectancy of approximately 6 months. Use it well!

If you join a navy you will find it quite difficult to avoid going to the 'sea coast' at some point in your maritime career.

That's not how I meant. I wonder if I need to go to the Coast to find a Recruitment Office for the navy, or if entering a regular Army Recruitment Office would have Navy Personnel inside to help me join the Navy.

entering a regular Army Recruitment Office

Like the ones in Kraków od Wrocław for example, rather than going to, say, Gdańsk or Gdynia?

Yeah. Will there be Navy options for me to join there?

As far as I can see, you'll need to visit the correct recruitment office. An unwillingness to travel to the coast may well be seen as a drawback in wanting a career at sea.

Buy the way, if you're good at science and have at least a Matura or equivalent before applying for the course, many ships' electricians in the Merchant Navy are from Poland. I know a few and have worked on board ship with some (on the ship I was on, all the electricians were Polish). They all trained in Gdynia and this can be a very highly paid as well as a very rewarding career.

Sorry in advance for offending anyone - but the military service threads on PF are kinda scary. I imagine that it is in fact representative of a large segment of the type of people that actually enlist. The fact that it is these people heading there is what scares me.

A normal soldier:

1) Doesn't want to be one
2) Hates the service
3) Is good at making friends and keeping himself entertained through long periods of excruciating boredom
4) Has a healthy disdain for authority
5) Definitely does not see himself as a knight (these are the guys that get the other guys killed)

Just some thoughts.

True, Bobko! Except in present day Russia, I'm told by Russians fighting in the Ukraine War.

Eh? What do you mean?

There's plenty of romantics/autists in the Russian and Ukrainian military too - despite all efforts of commanding officers to beat this dangerous mindset out of their minds before they kill somebody.

Ok. Been here long enough, seems I'm ready to delete this profile.
