What's it like?

People often ask what the army is like. I'm not always sure which part they are talking about. Part of being in the army is sitting around doing paper work and struggling to stay awake during briefings. The other part is the opposite if you can imagine late nights early mornings, crappy food and living conditions, being dirty stinky and having to sleep outside. I think those of us who join the military are a little nuts, like Boy Scouts who haven't grown up yet the only difference is we have cooler stuff, and it's slightly more dangerous. 

Being in the army is hard, and I love every minute of it.
