Wait but what happens if you decide to leave? Does it mean they can’t release you like legally?

Whyd u wanna join any army other than people’s army

It's called Desertion (or AWOL). You'd get discharged or court-martialed

Damn, sorry. My comment might’ve been—and now that I think about it, was, in fact—ignorant; here, you get no benefits for “having served the country” whatsoever.

Where you from?

I’m from Poland. (At least, I’m not aware of any; might be wrong.)

I know for a fact there are no discounts for having done so, though; lol.

You go AWOL, in which case they send out an arrest warrant for you. If you're still AWOL after 30 (?) days, you become a Deserter and it becomes grounds for a court martial.

Space Force

I’d go air force if anything.

How did you feel when Yachty took the wok over there?

Best thing to happen to Poland in ages. (Morawiecki’s still a cornball, though.)

That’s dope Op

This is totally the wrong place to mine opinions though

Do it, that dodge charger and free college calling your name.

I mean sure there are a ton of benefits to joining the military but if you just have wanderlust or "want to feel like missing home"...(the f***?) then maybe just move to a different city or coast? Feel like joining the army should be your last resort. Especially since s*** can probably be popping off in the near future.

you should stop going to ktt full stop buddy

So should u

you should do it op

I think going to the army is a pretty extreme solution to wanting to experience the world and get out of your comfort zone. Have you thought about doing a working holiday visa in one of the countries that offers it?
There's also something like WWOOF, where you go and do work on an organic farm for room and board.

You could go be a counselor at an international summer camp, teaching English.

The world is pretty unstable and there's at least a decent probability that you'll see combat in the military.

As someone with two parents with PTSD from the military, your future kids and everyone else around you also suffers, to an extent. It's just something to think about before jumping into it.

If you do do a non combat job after basic training

imagine risking dying young for a bunch of old cacs

because most of the crazies can't score high enough on the ASVAB to join the air force
