How to complete the Ex-Soldier Challenge in BitLife
BitLife's Ex-Soldier challenge is about experiencing new things, from spending time in the military to finding love after years of self-discovery. While most of its objectives are straightforward, it's easy to take a few missteps if you try to fast-track certain tasks. Here's how to complete the Ex-Soldier Challenge in BitLife.

Forgetting to make a friend early or passing away during your first few years deployed in the army will force your to restart your run. You may also have poor luck while trying to date a biologist. Generally speaking, this challenge is all about luck and patience. Be born a male in Germany The first step of the Ex-Soldier Challenge is to be born a male in Germany. Doing this is the easiest task of this challenge, as you just need to get your character's starting gender as male and starting country as Germany. It doesn't matter which city you start in.

Since NPCs can get married or pass away during your playthrough, making several friends during your character's childhood will lower the odds of you having to restart your run. Become a soldier in the Army Once your character turns 18, enter the occupation menu, choose military, and enlist in the army to quickly knock out this next objective. Typically, as long as you're in good health and don't have a criminal record, you should enter the military fairly easily without many issues.

You'll find several options, including requesting a discharge, working harder, and retiring later. However, our focus is deserting your post, which you'll find just below to co-workers menu.

As your character ages, you'll randomly encounter deployment opportunities involving a Minesweeper minigame. You can finish this minigame yourself or use a metal detector if the option presents itself. Either way, complete this minigame before deserting your post to complete the third task of the Ex-Soldier Challenge. You'll now be pressed for time as you finish the remaining two objectives. Deserting your post in BitLife can lead to immediate arrest. If you escape arrest, the police can follow you later, delaying the next two tasks.

To do this, head into Activities, select Love, and go on dates until you find someone with the biologist occupation. As soon as you find someone, start dating them before breaking up immediately and moving on to the last challenge task. Marry a childhood friend Lastly, it's time to wrap up the challenge by getting married. Doing this requires finding one of your childhood friends in your relationships menu, asking them on a date, and proposing once your relationship stats increase.

Once you propose to and marry your childhood friend, you'll complete the final task of the Ex-Soldier Challenge in BitLife.
