Because fuck you that's why.
Working in an office is mind-destroyingly boring. Just today I found myself fantasizing about being in any number of the ret things I've been through, beit falling off of stuff on a construction, burning myself with x-rays welding, going hypothemic alone in the Blue Mountains, waking up to my house on fire, having to survive on donated food, you name it. At least that all had purpose and excitement. Staring at Word and Excel after pissing away an hour of my life driving each way does not.
>he doesn't work remote
NGMI
I do on Fridays and I get absolutely nothing done, because I'm just sitting alone for hours
Because normal jobs are boring. Even if you get paid good, some things are just not enjoyable to do.
Because the Taliban understood this better than anyone. Having an insurgency with the boys is more fun than driving in traffic for an hour a day just to make excell spreadsheets for 8 hours straight
Sometimes you just need a change of scenery.
One of my troops was a cook in a famous michelin starred resteraunt and enlisted at 30 because he got tired of working the kitchen. He said that military life is way better because he'd always be home before 1800 and his family got health insurance and dental.
You had me going until you said "always home before 1800." We both know that isn't true.
Wish i was in S1 tbh
>going home at 1400
Could be nice
We're gigapogs in case that wasn't obvious lmao
I'm gonna keep it real with you buddy
grunts go home earlier than mechanics, tankers, cav, aviation, whatever. If they're not in the field, they'll often go home at 2. Not talking about S shops who knows when they go home, I'm not fucking around at battalion all day
>he doesn't know
Bro check your phone I heard there's a recall, someone stole the guidon
Not him, but I was lucky to be the pogiest pog and a chill command team way back when.
You have never worked in a kitchen
Don't all the grunts joke about "hurry up and wait"? Being in the military has never sounded interesting or adventurous.
Sometimes i get to be bored in different locations though
For example I'm shitting around on PrepHole waiting for someone to get shot at this range (I'm a medic)
What's the strangest looking penis you've ever seen look like?
What race has the nastiest dick?
What percentage of balls are shaved?
>What's the strangest looking penis you've ever seen look like?
Real short real wide + gonorrhea
>What race has the nastiest dick?
You already know
>What percentage of balls are shaved?
Most just trim but no one shaves in the field
Depends on your job
It's usually not. Also, Iit depends on what you do. I was infantry (USMC 0351) where hurry up and wait is a real thing, as is cleaning a LOT, standing in formation and listening to a senior enlisted struggle to read something out loud, gear inspections... there's a ton of boring and/or stupid shit. That and waiting around is the vast majority of your life. But 1% of the time, you are doing something so, so fucking cool. You are with your boys, having the time of your life, experiencing something you absolutely could not any other way, and you're even getting paid for it. Shooting a rocket launcher or machine gun. Combined arms live fire range. Riding on an Osprey. Whipping the MRAP around way faster than intended, because the dude in charge is 23. Getting slambonied and jumping off the sea wall in Odessa. Blowing bangalores with the combat engineers. It's those crazy moments, and the tight friends you get to experience them with, that people feel like they've missed out on. And I can understand it. In a super civilized world, your head says take the comfy, safe, profitable, practical office job. But a man's heart will always say otherwise.
Get a redo. Standards change and they’ll not let you in because you took adhd meds in high school, other reasons
>Get a redo
What's that
only 24 but I already have this feel. I used to want to join the military when I was a kid but now I know that 99% of the time I'd just be cucked marching around and shit. But the 1% (I know these percentages aren't accurate) of the time that they go on field drills or whatever is alluring, to be honest.
Better late than never. Most men that do not enlist or join LE at some point in their lives will regret it forever and that's a fact. Better late than never.
Literally me, joining at 30 in the Canadian military for some desk shit just to serve for 4 years
