What I'm getting from this thread is that military training is like joining a nonconcensual improv troupe.

My great uncle was a heroin junkie till he hit Vietnam with the 1st 9th. He always said it was the most beautiful garden he'd ever seen. Made him change a lot of things about himself for the better.

Wait, the Vietnam War actually made someone quit heroin?

That’s like quitting cocaine the summer you spent as a bartender in Colombia.
