How do you grow up?

In the army you’re told when to eat when to sleep and what time you can take a shit.

So even tho being in the army is great for fitness, not so great at growing up.

Maturity comes with responsibilities and independence.

18 is arbitrary, having a goal or purpose is while realizing that the world doesn’t care if you accomplish it is what made me accept manhood

There’s two ways to go - either climb up the ladder or Pass Go and Collect $200

The Infantry is fuelled by a bunch of kids who got lied to by the Recruiter that they would be playing Call of Duty in real life. Kids who have never been taught any common life skills, or have any sense of how to be an adult.

I hate to say it but you chose the Combat Arms life, now you can either deal with the culture as an NCO and go over to another MOS where we are treated more like adults.

Back to option 1, what type of Infantry are you? Airborne is the absolute worst because it’s where the super-kids go just because they can drag their knuckles around.

Have you even been to a Light Battalion? QOL is generally better and people are treated more like adults, at least your Northern neighbours are.
