have you thought about military service? I can't join since I have a bad knee.

>>54823112 Quite often. I'm a useless piece of trash that can't function without someone telling me what to do.

>>54823112 And I've regretted it ever since. If you join atleast pick some cushy office job like finance or something that has consistent hours and works in an air conditioned building. Don't doom yourself to an endless string of 12-14 hour shifts outside doing fuck all with a leadership that makes it their personal mission to fuck over their troops, while changing and fucking up the mission with their "ideas" on tasks and procedures they aren't certified on or have ever performed in their life so they can have a nice bullet on their next epr or awards package because it seems like the only way to get ahead and promote is to prove yourself the biggest and most incompetent asshole around.

>>54823704 Army. Air defense. I don't hate enlisted. I hate E-6 and above with a few exceptions. Most captains I've met are trash and retention is so bad that anyone worth a shit gets out and goes civilian leaving nothing but retards and losers to command. That's why command climate sucks.

>>54823761 The irony is that all of the LTs that senior enlisted love to haze and junior enlisted love to hate are the only ones standing up for y'all. Officer life is pretty weird. If you're not a kiss ass, empty uniform, ass kissing retard you don't go far. I shield my guys from the stupid shit every opportunity I can and it feels fucking great. Doubt I'll ever make major though. Sorry to hear that about your schools but 11As literally have to do ranger/airborne to promote. Regardless of whether they want to or not. My OCS buddy showed me an email from his CO saying that he couldn't come to his unit without a tab.

>>54823882 That's why the retention rate is basically non-existent. That's why all senior commanders and majors are fat women and retards and everyone above them is just an empty uniform yes-man. Talent doesn't stay. Leaders don't stay. My commander just issued a battery-wide policy of "even if you don't have work, you can't go home" and enforces it brutally. These aren't rational, pragmatic people. They're people that can't function in society so they found a weird niche and cling to it, fucking over everyone below them. I've made some of the best friends in my life since I've been in but I've met some of the worst leaders too. I sympathize with you.

I've actually been considering it recently as I have completely lost my will to live and have come to the conclusion that I would be better dying for someone who actually deserves to live considering that I've become a piece of shit. Only reason why I haven't is because of several injuries due to growing up in an abusive home and because I'm worried I'd accidentally do something really retarded and fuck things up or accidentally get someone on my side killed.

I wanted to join the (US) Navy once because I like technical work and the idea of working on submarine nuclear reactors seemed cool as shit - awesome technology and you get to avoid seeing the sun for half a year at a time. I got the top autist score on the ASVAB but was rejected for being a Russian dual citizen; I've been here 90% of my life but they're still worried I'll sell their nuclear secrets to Putin. Considered another role but was butthurt at literally being a second-class citizen and so just dropped the whole thing

>>54823112 I don't care about my country anywhere near enough to die for it, though I like the idea. Also there seems like an actual chance of war occurring soon which equally makes me not want to do anything. I hate the politics of my country (no, I'm not American) and could not stand the idea of giving my life for them to continue to be retarded for another few decades. Also I see ads for the army everywhere and I hate advertisements so that makes me dislike the idea of it.

Good rate if you are interested in medicine and cannot afford medical school, but god awful as a career due to how little advancement there actually is.

I wanna go. I would love airforce, but my country has none so fuck it. No officering. If I wanted to do a boring office job I would have stayed in my current comfortable 8-5 job. I am planning to go and get deployed, the absolute adrenaline rush is why I want to do it. Go to some desert, shoot a bunch of sand niggers and come back to my comfortable life. I condone war and millitary in general, but I am a hypocrite so I would gladly break my moral codex for this experience.

>>54823112 Enough with this military shill bullshit.Don't even try to enlist anons, You don't know what your are getting into. Especially if your country has contract-based enlistment like the US, once you get in you are fucked and can't leave until they decide to let you go.You will be hazed and no it's not like that kid in highschool making fun of you because you like "Chinese cartoons" you will be physically bullied by seniors for even the smallest mistake.Think an autist like you who spent most of their childhood and teenage years on 4chin and playing vidya could sustain that much physical and mental abuse. Plus especially if you live in countries involved with real conflicts like the US you really risk death or even worse.Its a hell of a life, even if you have nothing to lose, better to wagecuck at this point Don't it anons you will end up like pic related pretty fast Just look at this guy's story https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sui cide_of_Danny_Chen

>>54829423 Lmao nah they were out of lobster at the DFAC. I'm talking about general military lifestyle. Not just Air Force. A lot of people don't realize all of the redundancy and arbitrariness that comes with it. And a lot of people can't handle it. A lot of people also can't handle being punished as a squadron for something maybe only 1 or 2 people did. The Air Force is cozy. My job is cozy. Regardless of how cozy it is for me, and whatever shit you want to complain about that you have to deal with and I don't, the military isn't for everyone. Also don't get MEB'd lmao
