I thought most European countries that have militia conscription had it commence at 18 with 2 to 5 years of service?
Hence even then they'd have less training than what Welkin's had, as he's had at least 12 years worth of military training. The Gallian system is somewhat frightening when you stop and think about it... but that's contingent on the fact you aren't from a nation like Israel or Switzerland of course. |

I think Singapore was 2 years of service. Anyho from the show you'll see why they do it and it's what gives Welkin and his comrades a good foundation to build from when it comes to fighting on the battlefield. It's better than just throwing them into the fire without anything. |

I do not see why the Gallian System should frighten. Switzerland conscription system is very interesting because they ensure that in a worst case war scenario they have enough educated reservists who can be reactivated again. They have a more strict conscription when it comes to reservist training. But still they have to undergo a basic training just like Austria and Germany.

Well, the current system in Singapore is 2 years of full time service, followed by "reservist training". For an officer like Welkins, he'll be picked out from the recruits during Basic Military Training. After this BMT, he heads off to the Officer Cadet School. Assuming he doesn't screw up, he'll be commissioned as a 2LT at the end of the school.

Of course, if you were born and raised in the US, such routine may seem silly to you, as the US was never in real danger from external threats, especially after 1989. - Tak

Just started this series. I must say Welkin is a fairly unusual character. I really like his quirks and brilliance, though I probably wouldn't like him as much if I were to him in person. Someone who is hard to read is difficult to interact with. Fortunately, Welkin has a good nature. Poor Alicia!

but what it amazes me is your comment, even with proven results, you still wouldnt follow him eh. I hope you enjoy a company who whips there soldiers and has fellow mates left to die. Remember General Damon who fled the battle ordering his remaining soldiers to stay and fight. All of them KIA so he could run away. Nope I dissagree with you, I think hes a fine commander and enjoying his role in the anime so far. Quote:
to sum up. Welkin, I really like him. Thats all I have to say

Now that's more like it..I bought the game but borrow my friends' PS3..but once I moved out I plan to get one too..this is definitely worth the PS3 for me.
Welkin is a pretty good character, he maybe carefree..but he's no emotionally unstabble and sadistic. In fact he handle himself quite well. |

Woulnd't leading Infantry be the same thing as leading your Platoon? He's led them into what...3 battles? And gave them their instructions before the battle. Isn't that what a Commander does? Not like he has to go running like a grunt with his other grunts.

I'm usually tired of the male lead in harems and most shows with romance elements, but Welkin has his own reasons and the interactions are done in a way that is enjoyable for me to watch.
