    Naw, people are people no matter the situation. If you were an asshole before you join it’s not like you’ll just not be an asshole. You gotta make a choice to change and some people absolutely don’t take that path.

    And you’d be surprised what people will do knowing the consequences. Some people really just don’t give a fuck lol

    For example, while on restriction for getting a dui, one guy was told to clean the company commanders office. Took that as an opportunity to stand on the officers desk with a mop and cartoonishly slosh water over all his paperwork / mop the computer ect ect. He only got 30 more days of restrictions for that.

    Feel free to ask me whatever if you’re curious.

      So it’s quite the shit show? I never had any illusions that enlisting would change anyone, and in fact I’d expect the military to get more problematic people than average. I just thought they were decent at managing them.
