I went into the military when I was 18 years old. It was the worst decision I ever made. This isn’t to malign the military as an institution, or the people in it. The Coast Guard is a great service, and is capable of doing good things. Many people thrive in the military—I did not.
Some of my best friends came out of the military. That was the best part for me. Finding the few that could see past the monoculture and confiding in each other while partying our brains out... in San Diego. 9/11 pulled me in. It's a strange feeling of wishing I hadn't done it but grateful for my experiences and friends.
Surprised your exercise habits didn't stick though.
