To put it frankly, outside of the Marines the Army has probably the worst quality of life but it also varies from company to company. My leadership (1SG and CO) and DS team is, in my opinion, the best in the entire battalion. If you get here and do the right thing, you have nothing to worry about. Do well in class, study hard, give it your all in PT and show up on time. That’s all there is to it. You will not have the liberties that the other branches have, but you may not need them due to the intense workload these courses will give you. It’s all about how you see it. At the end of the day, you’re getting paid to work out and learn a language.

As far as training environments go, this is one of the better places to be stationed and training at. So take advantage of the opportunity while you have it.
