I guess you missed the first sentence of my post. The second sentence should show you how far I've gone in my attempt to join the Army.

I'm more interested in diverse experiences.
The FFL is different because of the culture that surrounds it -- men don't join the Legion to serve France, they join to experience the Legion. There's simply no other organization like it in the world.
In the unlikely event I decided to move to NZ and attempt to serve in their military, it would be done out of a similar motivation: to experience both NZ and soldiering.
And of course it will be on my own terms, to some extent. I'm volunteering for something, so at the very least the "job" should be on my terms.
Grifo, enlisting is a little different than commissioning. Like Gregor said, the security clearance is the biggest issue.
