How did you stand such a strict, repressive environment? I know some people thrive, but I am such a free spirit I don't think I could handle that, and I was in the bloody military! Bootcamp was the only place that strict..and it was only twelve weeks. Sure, the military has its own rules and regulations, but we were allowed to live our own lives and do things(within reason) we wanted. Part of the reason I got out of the military was due to the fact that I matured greatly and no longer wanted what the military had to offer, but I am glad I served.
