@bakubased @LordMordred yeah. None of my colleagues who were in and got out, or any of my colleagues who are still in "with" me say the same damn thing:

Not worth it.
Not good for you.
Not good for your family.
Not good for your spirit.
Not good for your mind.
Hardly any benefit to your career post military (this is 90% dependent upon the career path and occupational specialty you choose/get assigned).

Stay far and away from this institution. It's nothing like when our grandparents are fathers were in. It's rotten to the core & still rotting yet.

If you want consistent work and a very difficult path to be removed from employment just join the civil service sector of the government. Be a GS employee of any stripe. Too easy nigga.

But never join the service. Not self respecting White man (and no woman either) should ever serve these disgusting, stupid, hateful masters.
