I should have gone to the military, like I wanted to. When I finished school, I wanted to serve to learn discipline, order, and structure. My parents are both strict pacifists and had dragged me to peace protests from a young age. I didn’t want to break their heart, so an undisciplined civilian life it was. Still lacking discipline, order, and difficulty sleeping.

    Army takes up to 36, and they're decently disciplined. May have missed the boat on Marines though, and that's where the true brainwashing occurs, in my opinion. And I don't mean brainwashing making you want to kill and love war, I'm not fond of either, less so after than before. But structure is a very real thing, and developing good habits.
