/lit/ I think I wanna enlist maybe soon
Is there anything I should read to better inform that decision or better choose which branch to join
AND
If I could carry one book on me throughout all my deployments, what work of philosophy or literature should that be?plsno Meditations or Zarathustra
I'm thinking something pragmatic that can excite and prepare me to embrace the more rigorous hellish aspects of military life coupled with aesthetic beautiful artful prose stylings.
also if youve enlisted how much time do i get to read and write realistically.

You should go talk to real enlisted guys, they have military threads on /k/ and shit
If you want to be all gung-ho for the military read Starship Troopers and/or early uncensored versions of Junger's Storm of Steel or On Pain
But really, there's a good chance that you'll be wasting your life, or at least getting into something that isn't at all what you think it is. Different eras have different military experiences and different enlistment demographics. You might very well be joining an outfit of mainly retard rednecks that will feel more like a cliquey high school than like the camaraderie and "I'd die for you, my brothers!!!!" shit from Starship Troopers. Only way to find this out is to do a LOT of research.

Thus meditated Zarathustra
