Life in the Military

Military life is not for everyone.

It may seem obvious,  but take some time to think hard about the fundamental training you will receive in the military: how to fight, how to kill. Later you will be trained for your military job that may or may not be a combat job. But all the jobs exist to support the military mission.

All jobs can require you to fight or kill.

Am I willing to kill on order, without hesitation, be it a civilian, woman or child, 

or be killed myself in service to a mission I may have serious doubts about?

Your time as an active service member is not (ever) your own. 

Your body is not your own. 

Even when off duty or on leave you must obey your commanders without hesitation or face punishment.
