These are really interesting insights for people who haven't been in the military and/or think about joining it, thank you! I always find it enriching to hear about views and experiences especially in parts of the world or in fields that I have little to no experience in myself. Many years ago I used to work as a freelance teacher for soldiers who were completing an apprenticeship during their time in the military (and did therefore have classes), and it was an extremely interesting experience - though I did feel a bit uncomfortable on my first day, standing in front of 25 men in uniform as the sole woman there, but that did pass quickly.
