Anyone joining the army?

[70i]

It has it's positives and negatives. I don't think I'd ever join because I don't like commitment. Also my dad is in the military, so I get some of the benefits like the GI Bill which pays me to go to college, and cheap insurance through USAA.

I'm in the Army, don't fucking do it.

Well, it depends. Are you intelligent? If not, you might want to join.

Intelligence will get you nowhere. I have a problem accepting authority delegated over me for no reason, and it's horrid. I mean the money, school money and other benefits are awesome but it still sucks a dick.

I'm smart enough though to get out of quite a bit of bullshit, it just sucks having to listen to old fucks and stupid fucks all day.

Join the Air Force, much better option.

If you're smart, and can graduate college joining the military as an officer is a lot better.

Officer's do exactly that. They work in a office. I wouldn't say it's easier but you just deal with less bullshit like details/ cleaning.

The detachment was real with us as far as our stability in and after military life, but nothing they said suggested that we will have any more trouble finding jobs than the average American, maybe only more so because we'd be overqualified for a lot of the smaller jobs. But it doesn't seem like it's a major issue anymore. I've not seen any studies or consistent news reports that say so, anyway

And vets get a lot more help finding jobs and there are large incentives for employers to hire vets.

Like hell it is, I live in the sticks with very few neighbors. Thats how I fucking like it. Privacy. Granted maybe "true" privacy is sorta redundant with social media ect but personal space is still en vogue with a lot of us.

personal space is important. you don't realize it until I don't have it. amazed by the difference it makes when I have the house to myself for once and a while. changes my wholemindeset.

I'd rather prefer not joining the army because my personality wouldn't fit the requirements.

Where i live its mandatory, and i believe thats wrong, the government forcing you to do something for 358 days that you have zero interest in doing. But i guess i was lucky as i faked to be injured and went to a private doctor and i was in the clear. I would have been depressed af if i had to go and do that shit, its like humans have no rights there, sleeping in a fucking tent while its -35 degrees outside, getting to shower and put fresh clothes on ONCE a week, and the last thing is that they do not feed you well enough due to their budget so most kids come out of there being skinny as fuck a calorie diet of 1700 calories a day, not even close to enough that i need

My friend just came back from Marines boot camp the other day and he has everything negative to say about the Army lmao. I used to want to join the Marines a while ago but I'm not fit enough for it and they run you down even if you're not physically capable because they've already spent time and money on you, they aren't gonna let you go. I thought about the Army also since both of my parents are veterans of the Army, but as I said, I'm not physically fit enough. I think I'd be okay with being constantly being told what to do by someone else of authority, but I'm still not cut out for the military I don't think. As of late, the government seems to be kinda whack, Idk if I'd wanna be a namesake of them. It will still always remain my last-resort plan though.
