There are a few if you go back.Originally Posted by ScarletPatriot
Why the interest in the shiryon palsarim?
Also, try looking for palsar 401 instead of 188. You might have better luck.
Age and profile will be a greater determinant than your degree. There are those here with much more recent induction experience as an oleh than I have; they'll have to chime in. For what it's worth (and it can't be very much) It was 1984and I was 25 with a 97 profile and did 2 years infantry and paratroops (when Gdud 50 jumped). It was designated 18 mos., and I opted for another 6. One of my buddies was 30 when he went in - he was the hayal mitztayen for 931 that mahzor. So anything is possible, but then we were quite pleased to be in regular gdudim and we weren't conversant in all the pal (fill in the blank) options available. When all was said and done I had friends from 669 who said they wouldn't have traded places with us not because they were that special, but because our pace of operations was much greater.
There should be a simple chart available from the Jewish Agency that explains how long your military service will be based on your age at the time of Aliyah. Requirements change over the years, but in the 1990's, if you were 24 or over you did something called "Shalav Bet" where you did basic training, plus some additional service for a total of 6 months so that in the future you could do Miluim duty.
There have been rare exceptions where someone past the maximum age has signed on for extra years as a paratrooper or something similar, but bear in mind that you would be stuck with 18 year old Israeli kids.
They are auxiliary aircrew...

Air crews are allowed to wear white T-shirts under their uniforms?
Flight school for example.Every Israeli citizen up to a certain age can apply to IAF flight school...
About your academic qualifications,don't bet too much on it's relevance .
I heard about a guy with masters in economics , whom the ministry of defense really wanted for their finance department,ending up as a gate guard(shin ghimel) in some ****hole army base.
I think the main issue with getting in to the "better" units is security clearance. They can only do so much background check to someone that has just arrived to the country.
Nothing official here,just my 2c...
No much relevance, as others said. Though assuming you want a combat unit and will get one, there is a good chance either for armor or artillery, they like brainiacs. Unless you want to try to get in one of the technological units, in which case your degree will be a factor. Though security clearance might be an issue.
Gotta see this. Yoni is a true israeli hero.
Too bad that he had a stupid hawkish brother. And a bigot and brilliant intelectual for a father. Contradictions...
I doubt Yoni would have turned out any less "hawkish" than the rest of the family.
Also cobsider the fact that the majority of Israelis are just as "hawkish" as Bibi... this will probably be proven again in September (certainly not a sign of stupidity but rather of realism).
Really? Yoni would have been just as hawkish as Bibi? I don't know...from the little that I read of his writings and what others have written, I got the feeling that he was more to the center than his family (probably not Mapai, but not Likud either).
I was under the impression that most polls showed that the israelis were not happy with Bibi...
Yoni was probably one of the first people in Israel to state that peace with the Arabs is most likely unattainable.

He (Bibi) isn't a doer as a PM, and he's seen as ethically challenged (which is becoming the Israeli norm unfortunately,) BUT, when all is said and done he's Mr. Security or at least seen as the best choice if/when security issues are the dominant issue facing the electorate.
Looking at their eras and backgrounds, no reason to think that Yoni would have fallen that far from Bibi or Barak for political stances. Barak may be Labor, beut he's no Mapainik either. Peres is the last vestige of that, and he left Mapai for Rafi in 1964.
And now Barak has his own party (that serves his main agenda... which is Ehud Barak) and even Peres wasn't faithful to Labour until the very end (left the Knesset as a member of Kadima).
Anyway, I opened an Israeli elections thread in the Political Section.
Best to have such discussions there instead of getting the thread off topic.
