Today my dad tried to talk me into joining the navy and doing

Joining as a Private?

Go ask around /k/, you should do some research. There are a few artfags there, but I don't think they had that "golden ticket" of yours. You won't be dealing with artsy ppl, learning that hierarchical "sir" professionalism. PT and you're not exempt from deployment.

I wouldn't, times are weird to gamble all that. Be prepared to out your career on hold for 3 to 4 years.

That was pretty much my response to him telling me all this. Ive always been against enlisting, especially coming from a military family. As hippie-dippy as it sounds i hate the idea of having to change how i look and listen to orders. Plus the drug tests.

Well i mean, you gotta listen to your client/art director/producer/teachers/instructors/etc

But yeah I would just give plenty of examples of professionals working where you want to work. Show that your career is successful and that he won't have to be worried about you. Just be prepared to work very hard. You wouldn't actually gain any practical, creative criticism towards your artwork when you're in the army. It's the wrong environment for the wrong profession. Military is quick, tight, well-oiled structuralized strategizing at ultimate efficiency with no complaints. Art/Design is about questioning and interpreting physical and theoretical ideas in order to portray your view of a specific subject matter in order to appeal to a specific audience.

And you get to be part of the artistic culture of the world, including /ic/!

>he's against enlisting because he doesn't want to cut his hair and do what he's told
>not because he doesn't want to kill people and get maimed by a manure nail bomb to secure more orgone boxes for his reptilian overlords

Art people can be batshit crazy. I think they're right above animal people in terms of insanity.

>>3028819
Getting picked to do that is like luck though.

What >>3028823 said. It would most likely be through the navy, so the odds are extremely against it. That is another factor of course, especially with the current administration.

We get it, kid. You think you're edgy by being anti-military.
