Escape hatch-ed into the the military for the 2000s financial crisis, became a Navy Nuke and was one when those commands didn't have the lowest morale out of all the military (though we were competing against Drone Pilots who hit rock bottom enough to boo their commanding officer off stage).

The military is a fucked up place with utter bullshit like the CO using a suicide victim's "voice" to say we should work harder, where failures of people stay in (too afraid of civilian life, or trapped in the military since they're the only one who covers their child insurance wise, or worse get their rocks off at the command climate), and along with the entire thing being utterly corrupt (there are no economic pressures to do better, no social pressures since everyone is trapped by that contract, and no oversight pressures since politicians are afraid of the fallout of being hard on the military).

(On the bright side with the failure of the military to recruit, we know things are NOT completely hopeless economically/emotionally/socially for gen Z. Since when things get that bad, they're likely to ignore the advice of people who have recently been in)
