My Military Life

My Military Life

I've been in the military for 3 years now and I have a few months left to go until I get out and enter the civilian world again. I've had my ups and downs within the past 3years in my military career. I would probably say more bad than good though....but from every bad situation I guess you can say a positive came out of it because I try to take something positive out of every bad situation that has happened not only in my military career but my life as well. I use to be one angry impatient person. I use to keep a lot of anger built up inside but when I joined the military for the most part that all changed. I could no longer be impatient because in the military you must have that because it seems like you sit around and wait for every single thing. I could no longer be really as angry as I use to because my anger turned into what they call being disrespectful and when you are disrespectful to non comissioned officers that then turns into ucmj action a counseling statement which is not good because if you get so many of those you can have a packet built up against yu and that can further more turn into an article 15 which is definetly not goo because you can possibly lose rank and be put on 45 days of extra duty, so thats not the one you want.
For me just someone have like so much control over my life was and still is my biggest problem, its like I have to get permission to do so many things and I'm like I'm an adult not a child so it just gets really frustrating at times but some people feel that its the same in the civilan world but personally for me, I dont see it. If I have a problem with my supervisor no matter how long I've been at that job I can express that with no problem but in the military it all depends pretty much on your rank, you can't be really vocal in the United States Army. I feel like sometimes I'm being someone else sometimes because I'm not really allowed to speak my mind anymore so choose to just stay silent most of the time...
