In the infantry you deny yourself, that's the field, the field is round the clock, it doesn't stop, all you do is work.TheReal_ND wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 12:38 amI don't want to quit drinking I just want to quit using it as a crutch when I'm bored. Abstaining is actually kind of a lie. It sets yourself up for failure for your whole life so that you join some stupid club like AA. If I have something better to do like work or sleep or family I don't drink. If I have nothing to do at all with my life I drink. That's the way I go really. But yes, I do worry it is getting out of hand. Because I have nothing else going for me maybe. Maybe I mess up whatever I have going for me with drink but I can't think of a time when I've had that tbh.
Then when you come out of the field, everything is better, hot showers, clean sheets, warm pussy, cold beer.
All the sweeter because you missed it in the field.
In terms of being an older guy at boot camp, I don't know what that's like, I was 17, so it was all about the poon.
