Topic	Does military boot camp actually build character?
Hexenherz 09/29/19 12:34:43 PM #26:	PrettyBoyFloyd posted... MachineJaipur posted... PrettyBoyFloyd posted... Worked with several guys who got booted out or convinced out for bulls*** reasons. Like serve some ping pong time and it's like "we don't need you anymore". Most people I've served with, and that got out, get out because the military isn't quite what they were expecting. At least in the current administrations time, the branches are usually trying to keep people in AND add numbers. Now some people are just ill fit for the demands of the military, either physically or mentally, and get adminned out for the "we don't need your services anymore" reasons I mean do guys and gals just quit staying fit after boot camp ? Basically yes. In some branches it's easier to get away with not working out every day (especially Air Force and Navy), so it's easier to slip away from the basic standards which aren't even that high to begin with. And then if the command doesn't enforce the physical readiness program that you have to go on if you fail, then you kinda slip through the cracks. I'm sure people used to fail intentionally just to get kicked out early - it is an administrative discharge, you lose some but not all of your benefits and it doesn't ruin your prospects at getting a federal job afterwards so it's not the worst thing possible if you're ready to move on. But the Navy stopped automatically processing people out early for PT test failures so that doesn't work out well any more >_>. Plus it's illegal to intentionally do it but of course they'd have to prove that you did it on purpose. --- FFXIV: Herzog Erislieb (Cactaur) \| RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing. 89 Thieving, 80 crafting <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:928100261] in Does milit...
