you don't like it

and the fact is you have another year and a half left of it

Oh well, even the Mona Lisa is falling apart, what gives.

right now, you really need to focus on building yourself a good mental backbone

I mean

SheepTeeth said it's cuz of "Battle trauma"

be tough and rough bro

mental part anyway

yeah that can also play a large factor

it's a mix of different things. it's never just One thing

yeah

if only

the best thing you can do right now man, is work on your character

and by that i mean keep yourself busy while you're there. i'm not entirely sure what it is you do over there. maybe we can vc soon and you can tell me

but really try your best to look at things more positive

i know that seems impossible

but at least try

and keep in mind that at the end of all this, things are gonna start getting better for you

you served and you should be proud of that

Here's hoping.

This sounds like generic motivational speeches.

not a lot of people have the balls to do that

Kinda sad how I love my country, but hate the fuck out of the Army.

yeah

lol

i don't see that being rare with other people

but yeah, try not to be sad all the time. keep telling yourself that

I mean

it's def not uncommon

a lot of officers wonder like "Huh, why do most people who currently serve hate the Army so much?"

My reasons? Because no one ever helped me, when I asked. Always left me to fend for myself.

AWOL has crossed my mind, several times in fact.

But it's not worth it

What is AWOL?

@Some Polish-Hungarian Guy People who go AWOL are cowards

yeah

Absent With Out Leave.

And I feel no respect towards them regardless of what they did during their time in service

So what do they get if they go AWOL?

I don't know

Haven't tried it
