I've heard enough horror stories about the military to never even think about enlisting. DJ Potatoe was in the navy in boot camp and managed to get out on account of his knee surgery and documented bipolar disorder from when he was a tempestous youth, but really, it's way worse than you probably think it is, and in the long run doesn't pay as well as it really should. At the camp Potatoe went to, they'd raise a black flag every other week, for each new recruit that commit suicide. You'll get less than 4 hours of sleep a night 6 days a week for about 6 months (sundays is something-holiday, i forget the queer navy term for it. you get about 6 hours sleep. though it's evened out by you getting 0-2 hours of sleep on some nights). That is also your only day on which you can talk to other boot camp members, which is done while you shine your boots. If you somehow manage to escape and go AWOL, it goes on your permanent record as a federal offense and you'll never be able to get a job anywhere that checks your history. If you fuck up (assuming you're in navy boot camp), you'll get sent to train with the Marines. It'll be the worst experience of your entire life, assuming you live through it. Then, you get to visit warzones in foreign countries and get shot at! Good luck!
Although? I hear the food there isn't too bad.
