depending on the branch and job, maybe a deployment for several months to a year long every few years.

moving to a new place every 4-8 years

if you live on base, get used to people from all walks of life being around you (well, anywhere close to a major base fits the bill)

get used to wondering why he/she thinks yelling at top volume is a form of correction and authority.

get used to extremely stupid friends unless they have already been in for several years, in which case only the occasional stupid friend. unless they are officers, in which case they have no friends.

all of this comes from the US military tho. good luck, the horror stories are real, but not as rampant as lead to believe.

Ya from what I've heard there can be short deployment for like emergencies within the country for a few weeks but to overseas anywhere from 6-12 months usually.

You bring up a good point about the moving. I have to ask him how long he is stationed at this base. Again from what I have heard it can be as little are 2 years.

Ya we had a talk once where I was had to say yo don't talk to me like that that doesn't help the situation. He's was like, "You don't like being talking down to? Oh ya I guess not me either..."

He introduced me to some. They were pretty nice from what I saw. One guy didn't judge me for laughing at a child tip over off a chair. But they did say they had "stories" about their times of doing stupid shit in the past that I get to learn later on.

Ya I'm hoping the horror stories don't happen to me, but you never know. I don't have the best luck.
