When I was a kid I was often told that serving military is good. I
entered Military school at 17, but was discharged for poor discipline
and mathematics. Further army experience was even worse.
Things like
authority line and discipline were NOT my thing.
Life in
barracks and obligation to report to someone with more stars on
shoulder straps seemed weird to me.
I do like military uniform though. I wondered how I could have looked
like if I stayed in the army instead of becoming photographer.
