    To be fair learning to farm and do military shit sounds way funner than the actual crap you’re doing throughout most of school.

      Learning to do military shit was way less fun than school. A not inconsiderable amount of time is spent doing domestic chores. The rest of the time is spent sitting in class.

        i was at the military (we have to in my country) for a few months and what we did was 20% eat, 40% sports, 30% sit around and 10% drink.

          Basic for me involved polishing boots/shoes, folding shirts, making bed, keeping room clean, ironing clothes, gym, laundry, hastily gobbled meals, cleaning rifle, academics, drill and about three weeks of combined field training with sleep deprivation.

        But a 14 year old isn’t going to know that. They’d be thinking about shooting guns and doing obstacles and driving tanks around and shit like that.
