Do you ever wonder if someone you have encountered has written

An interesting thought, I think if anything the max might be a suicide note.

I do all my talking in a Malysian master-potters workshop that specializes in criticism of other potter's inferior techniques, so I doubt it.

And sadly everyone I knew that's commited suicide didn't have the decency to tape trash bags on the walls, much less leave a note.

Being a navy sub fag, I'll literally do anything important with my life unless my boat would get to end the world. My luck I would be asleep anyways. So influencing someone else enough for them to write about me, highly doubt it.

That'd be a pretty interesting and flattering thing to read. I am an odd and outspoken person, so I think it's possible I'd get maybe a passing mention, but I'm also fairly young and I grew up in a rural setting, then went into the military, both of which don't exactly harbor the most voracious of readers/writers.

I don't encounter a lot of people.

And either way their description of my person would probably be unrecognizable to me

Three service members in this thread, what a coincidence

That's a good observation
What drove you guys to enter the military? And how would you say it's affected you?

>what drove you guys to enter the military

A longing for adventure. I actually ship in 15 hours. I'm projected for SFAS which is going to be hell, but I'm so eager to start.

I want to be able to live alone and have the finances to explore the world, live in different countries, and look back whilst on my death bed and feel satisfied. Assuming my deathbed isn't some floor of a shack with bullets in me.

Yeah, I don't doubt it'll be hard. I'm trying out for Scout Sniper myself in a little while. I hugely agree with the financial independence part, as the biggest reason I joined the military was to get away from my parents, but a big part of it was to become stronger, in a sense. I've been reading Nietzsche, and his idea of an ubermensch, and it really speaks to me.
Exposing yourself to hardships and tragedy to become stronger, more willful, actively seeking out conflict, trying to become the best version of you. Just hoping I don't end up in a box, too, least not while I'm still young and inexperienced.
