Mandatory Military Service

@Dan Arnautu This is the way I’ve been looking at it also. There is definitely opportunity to grow. Discomfort is our friend.

@YaNanNallari What do you mean by emotional habits?

 

@Hansu Yes, I think I’ll do this. In the end, 6 months is nothing. I’ll start with army and if I get depressed or something I might switch to civil service.

I have high functioning autism so i doubt i would be much use to the military, try and get out on medical grounds and if not community service. I don't agree with government having the right to tell me what to do with my vocation so i would protest it relentlessly

People can get quite discouraged and stuff like that by the army. They become used to just following orders all day and not looking into stuff themselves too much. Of course there are examples of the opposite too but, still. And people also learn to be kind of blunt and rock faced there, to repress their emotions. There can be a "well nothing to do about it.." attitude for many after the army
