If you ever think about joining the military just remember never under any circumstances do more then 4 years you will regret that decision for the rest of your life. At first being in the military feels like you are on top of the world but after you reach pass for you either one of two people, A brainwashed tool or a enlightened trapped fool who now sees the army for what it is Toxic, arbitrary and pointless

However I did learn a lot on disciple leadership, how to be mentally stronger and I won’t lie theirs positives for sure for me at least. The mindset and lifestyle I enjoy, I love fitness and health and becoming a confident individual. It’s allowed me to grow in areas I never thought I’d grow In again

I re-watch this often to steel my resolve to ETS and never look back. The civilian life isn't looking to bad. The Army itself is something I find that's going to be weak and a joke as they pander to the Woke community and fat acceptance. I have 1 more year left and put on my hat and tap dance just enough to survive. I would've re-enlisted but with the double standards of sexism, Ht/Wt, and the mass amount of kiss assing in the army are more than enough to see myself out. Finding this video back in 2020 is something I appreciate. I see your new content and glad you're finding peace in Thailand. For those thinking of enlisting DON'T just listen to the experience of the many veterans that got the short end of the stick. The Army's future is looking grim, but maybe it will be better only time will know. As of now, I wouldn't recommended the Army to my enemies. Enjoy your freedom and apply to be better than your past self.

Served 4 in the marines, got out and experienced true freedom. Then the economy went south and I decided to join the army at very least so I can start with a a clean slate and to wear the same uniform my dad wore. On my 2nd army contract and I can’t wait to get out. I ONLY re-enlisted so I can buy this house I’ve been renting for the whole of my first contract at 182k (they undervalued it by 20k haha suckers) but I needed proof of employment for the next 3 years to do so smh. If it weren’t for that, I’d be out of the military on terminal leave on the 28th of dec. Now I’m stuck in this fuckin crap for 3 and a half more years. Smh. I guess it was worth it for the house but I hate the military so damn much. Just the stupid expectations and the promotion system are just dumb. Why do I need a college degree to get promoted just because my peers have them? For all that I could’ve just went and became an officer with WAAAY more pay.

I joined the Marine Corps because of a few things: I was a mess during h.s. I didn't get good grades; I was unhappy as a teen; had loser friends, the few that I had; never had a g/f (I was pretty awkward socially)....my life was shit. The other reason is, I thought it would give me a sense of discipline and perspective. And it did. Getting up at 0400 to go to a 0530 rifle qual; getting up at 0530 to get ready to PT at 0600. Literally walk up to formation, a couple seconds late, and you're in trouble. You'll do police call for a week straight; I know, I've done this a few times. And the military is full of political games. There is blatant hypocrisy, favoritism, double standards, etc. I don't want to sound cliche or whiny like today's kids, but there's subtle racism: the whites all hang out with each other; ditto blacks, ditto the Latino Marines; and so forth. It's like prison in that regard. Nearly all the WM's are whores; they fuck everyone. I'm sorry for my vulgar post....But the silver lining is, when I look back, I wouldn't have learned discipline had I not joined the Marine Corps. Discipline, at least from my perspective, is doing something you dislike, especially mundane tasks, over and over again until it becomes cursory. That's what 90% of life really is, mundane tasks you do over and over again. There is no escape from this drudgery. You can't be a Peter Pan or thrill seeker your whole life. People become drug addicts/alcoholics when they can't escape reality. You could be a fund manager on Wall Street making million of $$$ per year, and you'll still have to do things that make you question the meaning of life. But I think there is a silver lining to everything. I really appreciate that part of my experience in the Marine Corps....Yeah, I totally agree: Do NOT become a lifer. Those are people who are scared of the "real world" i.e. civilian world. The military is pointless after one enlistment. My four years felt longer than the four years when I was in high school LOL!!

Still the Military is and education you will only get there. It is a slice of America, so you are correct, you will see the bad, but remember also the good. I felt so free after leaving, but soon discovered that assholes exist in civilian life too. In fact I think I have met more. I found work doing what I wanted and not just what they wanted me to do, which is a plus. Just be aware, the lousy people are out there too. Maybe not as obvious, but they are there.

That statement hit me. You either stay in a fool, or you stay in and realize what it is weigh the negatives and positives but realize your okay with that and enjoy your job, the fool isn’t really a fool since theirs actually positives to them staying in.

I was a 11B for close to 6 years... work/train hard, stay away from shitty people and stick with the good ones... there's not that many of them but they are out there, and do your best to enjoy your experience... good luck out there

Won’t get out till 2024 but I’m already counting down my days. Definitely not what I thought it would be or how I imagined it. But I’ll say one thing, I’m going to school and going to the gym. So at least I feel like I’m not wasting my time. 2024 couldn’t come any sooner.

@@Daniel-jk9ge I’m out bro. I just got out in March of this year. Have you gone to school? Honestly I don’t think it’s worth it man, you don’t make shit in the military unless you’re an officer. So if you have a bachelor degree then I say go as an officer. But if not life is NOT worth it as an enlisted. Also if you do decide to join choose a smart MOS. But anyways I got out with a fucked up back and I have knee problems. I have a body of a 50 year old but I’m 22… so just take that into consideration.

Dennis Morris "btr" as in "better?" I assume that if you did army national guard, that would be better than doing air force full time. I highly doubt that army full time would be better than air force full time unless you got a real good job in army and a bad job in air force...

If another man has to discipline YOUR kids then you failed as a parent. No man should have to teach your children discipline that’s the FATHERS responsibility. When you are 18 years old what do you know about life? Virtually nothing. Women mature at 32 and guys at 43.

This is why I never want to serve. I'm in good condition so I'll probably be drafted if another war breaks out. Has to be a damn good reason to actually fight. Has to be an actual evil rather than just "for the oil monies". I don't know, it seems that it messes you up and I can tell that with you and your experiences, no offense.
