Stay away from war zones.

Jobs in these areas are glamorous - they seem exciting and adventurous, but in reality they are extremely boring and needlessly dangerous. If that's not enough, you'll feel socially excluded because you're not a soldier in a place where almost everyone else is and you're disconnected from "real life" where civilians like yourself thrive. On top of all that, working in rigid bureaucratic organizations like the armed forces can drive people up the wall. You'll feel like you're immersed in stupid. Watch Generation Kill for a very credible illustration of that.

In summary, don't do it.

That's what I'm talking right there. In the US, it's so natural for common people to be arrested. "I've had friends arrested" is not something you hear outside the US from a regular guy unless he's in organized crime. "I got arrested" is not something you hear from someone in the same levity as "I had a flat tire". Outside the US, being arrested is a big deal and the police doesn't arrest people for petty stuff.
