Actually, boot camp is a couple months at most, and tech school a few months more, and then what you have after that is pretty much just a typical job like you'd have in the civilian world. I was never deployed so I can't speak about that, but my case (of never being deployed) isn't rare anyway. It's been said that one of the purposes of the modern military is to raise the employment rate for young adults.Glowing Face Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717328290680086281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907216.post-22972729393821972462012-02-26T11:33:06.092-06:002012-02-26T11:33:06.092-06:00Apparently only a little, if the report of the stu...Apparently only a little, if the report of the study is to be believed.<br />Since I presume they also focus on "your goal" being a legitimately assigned goal, that helps the impulse control.

I wonder what they mean by it? A tendency to go along rather than cause a stir? I can imagine that military training could put a dent in that. You give people the idea that some things can be fought for and that your goal is more important than your fear of conflict, and who knows what can happen?Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.com
