This’ll be a long post, sorry lol.
I’m active duty, I’ve been in for about 6 years. And I think I wanna kill myself. When I enlisted as a 19 year old kid, I never would have considered things getting this bad. But overtime, promotions, and more exposure to what senior leaderships actually priorities are, I just want to be done.
I’ve sat in briefs where senior leaders openly admitted to sexually assaulting people and “getting away with it.” I’ve seen briefs where senior leaders ask people to please stop committing suicide, it’s hurting our retention and recruiting.
The army is a fucked up organization, and I’m tired of it. This month, I had 1,500 dollars taken from me. Nobody knows why, nobody’s helping me. So, I can’t afford rent this month.
Every day it feels like there’s no point in continuing. And as time goes on some days all I want is to be dead.
