At JRTC. Someone is sneaking off to poop in the shower trailers on the FOB. We apparently are close to having 24/7 shower guards.

Army poop story unfolding as we speak.

The truest words I've ever heard were said to me by a retired army doctor: "The Army produces a lot of outstanding administrators, but very few good leaders."

All the people that I've ever talked to that missed the military, but can't explain why, fall into two categories: they miss the camaraderie, or they miss the easy paycheck. There's nothing quite like either on the outside.

The thing is, unless you truly enjoy being treated like a child, you don't really miss The Army. At some point in your adult life, it should occur to you that having another grown adult very literally screaming in your face, pushing you to physical injury, and threatening your paycheck for smudged shoes or other people's hosed up life choices shouldn't be acceptable. On top of that, the crucible of the war is pretty much gone. The only hardships left to bring people together are all artificial, manufactured specifically for that purpose, or for a bullet point somewhere. Self-interest is the name of the game now.

If you're gone, stay gone; I promise it's not what you remember or want. Peacetime Army is the worst thing you could inflict upon yourself.
