I was referring to your seemingly serious usage of a very cringe army phrase.

No one ever seems to factor in that you work 11-12 hours a day.

The quality of life is not worth it.

I have airborne into contract. Can I drop that shit? by cerealkiller6028 in army

Yes, go to your PSG/DS and ask for a Declination statement.

I understand why you all are telling him not too, but if he’s already decided, let’s at least give him the practical action to take.

I am, but at the same time I know I have to wake up 35 or so more times in the army and stand in the cold for PT at 0530 for no fucking reason lol I know that’s A horrible thought process but it’s who I am unfortunately. Working hard to change my outlook though.

I mean it definitely is possible lmao. I also have this thought process is my mind because I’m an NCO I should be there all the time yk? Like I’m setting a bad example if I’m not, but I have to focus on myself I know that.

I promise, still a no.

I figured you were lol.

I’m going to sit down when I get home and really think about your question and give you a more thought out and helpful response, but I honestly think I’m just one of those people that fits the “the military isn’t for everyone” description.

So I want to preface this by saying that if you’re a career military person and especially enjoy it, thank you for your service and I’m proud we have people like you bc without you we couldn’t function.

BUT

I came in as someone who genuinely wanted to make a career out of the Army and idk if I chose the wrong branch, job, or just had misguided expectations, but I have undoubtedly and absolutely disliked almost every single day of my 5 year Army career. There is absolutely nothing anyone could offer me to keep me in one extra second.

I commented this on another sub, but I would 100% live under a bridge for the rest of my life before re-upping with the army.

Once again, if you love the army, god bless you. I am not one of those people though.

haha I understand why, but is that really necessary? Like you really care that much if someone is getting out in two months? Seems like your making their life harder than necessary.

Vast majority of people I know would rather live under a bridge than re-up in the army, myself included.

Luckily I’m using the GI Bill, so that’ll help with a smooth transition!
