Do it man...thus far in my 5 years of service, no regrets. I learend alot about myself, made myself so much HARDER and stronger.
Some people claim that the military helped make them strong.
However, that is just a mind trick, a type of brainwashing.
The type of strength people learn in the military is physical, and it is intended for violence and aggression.
That is not true strength.
True strength is the ability to go to work when you feel like relaxing, because you have to pay the rent.
True strength is the ability to apologize and admit that you were wrong.
True strength is the ability to be honest, even if you will get in trouble.
True strength is supporting your children, even if their dreams don't coincide with your hopes for their lives. What if your son dreams of becoming a dancer? Are you strong enough to pay for dance lessons and encourage him, or are you so weak that you will worry about what the neighbors think?
True strength is the ability to be open to new ways of thinking.
True strength is exercising every day, even when you are sick or tired, because you decided to exercise every day. It is not exercising when your "superior" orders you to exercise. You cannot gain true strength from following orders.
True strength is thinking for yourself, even if your family and friends don't like what you are thinking, which they will not if you don't share their fears and prejudices.
True strength is listening to your body, and stopping when it tells you to stop.
True strength is being true to yourself.
You will not learn any of this in the military.
None, zilch, zip, nada.
You will get out with a strong body (unless you are injured or killed, or course, which are real possibilities), but a weak mind.
