It's not just a job that you leave after 8 hours every day and can quit if you don't like it, or go on vacation whenever. That's what I meant in terms of not being your own person. Poorly phrased.

Oops, my bad. I read into it from another perspective I hear quite a bit (the you're crazy to want to join the military, since you give up your personality and ability to think, yada yada yada). Sorry about that.
