Late for David Goggins as my Drill Sergeant (Any military here? Should I join the military?)

Date: 2/2/2025

Somehow I was in the Marines, but I wasn't really taking it that seriously, I remember thinking "Do I really want to be in the Marines?" And thinking of how I could just get out of it. Then I realized I was absurdly late to report back to the main troop for something, and I was like oh fuck what is David Goghins going to say to me, and sure enough I go up to him and he's sitting there looking up at me with a cold stare, and he does one of those calm, intimidating tough guy interrogations on me asking why I'm so late. Pretty much exactly what I would expect him to do, which makes it feel like my expectations were just forming the dream landscape subconsciously. I have recently thought again about joining the military and I'm wondering if it's a good idea.
