Pure Bollocks in regards the Brits and Finns as for the Norwegian example I can’t say, I only know two Norwegian ex servicemen, both former navy divers and neither joined for the reasons you described. 

These divers now have lucrative careers doing similar to what they did in sjøforsværet yeah?

Training they got paid for?

My point stands.

 

Scots join up for the food and dental work.

Is it just an American movie thing where the tearaway gets given the choice of prison or the army or does that actually happen anywhere?

In Putin's Russia it's prison and then the army, followed swiftly by death.

One of the Norwegians is an ROV pilot the other a medic 🤷‍♂️neither have ever dived commercially . The Finnish and British or even Scots comments are just crap.

Not really,time on boats counts as offshore experience.  I am sure that both guys at some point could see how their careers as Navy divers was going to smooth their transition to offshore work.

 

Many Scots also join to learn English and the chance of a cheap Kilt.
