Rant incoming: Just got out but warning working for government Its all the same. when you work with military contractors ( in the military/ or out as a contractor) It's like you never even got out. Some soldiers never get out even when they do.
*EDIT. For future readers : The Military is a CULT. Escape as soon as you can don't fall for the whole reserves after doing active duty scam. don't waste another 4 years on bullshit like I did. GET OUT USE YOUR GI BILL F**** THE GOV THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU. Please don't fall for their lies like I did.
The military is very controlling. Authoritarian they don't care about you. You are trained to be afraid of them. They basically teach you how to be a battered wife, the whole batter wife syndrome. They don't care about you, they just want to make you afraid so that you're easily controllable and that you're afraid of getting punished. That's it. They punish you. They put you through a bunch of s*** they make you afraid to question authority and then they use that fear to control you and send you to die in war. That is what that is, what basic training is about. It's not about making you stronger. You know it's about making you obedient without making you not question because you're so afraid from all the pain from all the from all the the crap that they just keep pushing and pushing and pushing you and you just want it to stop because they just keep overwhelming you with this. b******* and b******* and b******* and b******* that you just feel this exhausted the aggression, the violence you want it to stop so you just comply and you become obedient and they use that obedience to to control you and to do whatever they want with you and then you're disposable and once they use you and then they throw you out. They don't care about your mental health they don't care about your well-being. Morale isn't a thing in the military you just you just get abused and you're just supposed to take the abuse and you you get tree like crap and you're supposed to just take it and take it and take it and take it and take it after. While you just kind of like I don't want to deal with this people anymore. They're just bad they're they're just toxic the military rewards toxic people in the regular system. Or if you if you treated your spouse or you treated your boyfriend, your girlfriend like crap. You would be an abuser but in the military abuse is normalized abuse is is okay. It's it's it's it's it's part of the culture. It's it's how it's supposed to work but it's it's f***** with you in the long term and it's not healthy and and you get out in the military and you're just like this broken crap. It's just like you just you're not stronger no you just you just worn down from all from all this being yelled at and from just being treated like crap and it just like you're just you just feel like a battered wife you feel like broken down and nobody cares. you talk to the VA. They don't give a s*** they don't care. The VA doesn't care. You tell you tell your reserve commander your commander doesn't have your back. It is just to get treatrd like crap and then they're like oh and then they keep trying to get you like. Oh you're going to give up on this great opportunity with the military. You know what you guys were treating me like crap. I don't want to do this anymore. You keep lying to me all this opportunities. No there's opportunities are gone. All the contracts are gone. They've admin cut them. The admin cut the contracts. There's so what was the point of all this? It's just to get treated like crap I have to get out. I'm leaving the government now because I'm tired of being treated like garbage. Nobody cares about me. I'm disposable. I'm just supposed to sit in front offor this computer and it just in case we get a f****** email that's never going to get. That's not ever going through the email binbox it's never going to come in a . You're just a puppet to to use and exploit and then they throw you away and they don't even pay you enough and none of this is worth it. None of this is worth it. I have to escape otherwise I'm going to just continue being a slave just like I was treated like crap in the government though. Everybody treat me like crap. I'm a nice guy I might think. Oh no you're probably dead. Just wanted it to play. Just play Mr narcissist then then just just treatrd everybody like crap. I don't understand why it's so it's just so much toxicity and the system every. It's just so much toxic. I don't understand what that's going on. I've had jobs where the people were nice. Bug every time working with the government. It's just toxic this lies. Oh yeah we'll get you there. Oh yeah we'll do this for you. Oh we're going to do this. Really cool thing. Then it never ends up happening. This is all you do is just lie and gaslight and abuse and exploit. Chasing a carrot that's never gonna happen. All these people do is lie. I want to get out of the government so bad. I am miserable. I feel like a slave. Everything's too expensive so they keep you trapped in your job. It's like it's almost it's All by design. They make everything too expensive and then they keep you and then they know you can't leave. So then they treat you like crap because they know they can get away with it because there's nowhere you can run to this this money system. It's so f***** up. It's just abuse. It's this normalized abuse. They're no freedom in this country. We're all just slaves. Slavery just never went away. They just make everything more expensive than we just keep grinding and getting abused and it never ends. Fuck you boss. You stupid ex marine exploiter.
