I would enroll for the Russan infantery in WWI! If I got lucky, I would be orderd to charge well equiped German forces without a gun, and perhaps even without real boots! Ah, those were the days...
Seriously though, I've always liked vikings, so I guess a viking archer would be something for me. Either raiding the English countryside, or fighting among the pagan pesant army that defeated and killed Olav the Holy at the battle of Stiklestad in 1030, or perhaps as one of King Sverre's birchfeeters fighting the pope backed southern Norwegian forces during the Norwegian civil war in the 12th century.
But as Dragonlich pointed out, even a flesh wound could kill you those days. And if you didn't die in the battlefield, there were all kinds of other diseases that there was no known cure for, ready to kill you once you got off it...
So, in order not to get killed, I'd join the brave Cortez in his glorious slaughtering of the Aztecs!
