Enlisted soldiers, did you get shamed for letting people know the path you would take?
I’m in high school and want to join the military but keep it on the down low because every time I talk about it I get backlash and questioned as to why I’d want go in the army. Some outright say I’m wrong and to only go in as an officer, especially my family. I don’t even say my aspirations which is the infantry and I’d most likely want to attend RASP because they’d either shoot it down or not relate at all. Currently running, rucking, lifting, and wrestling to prepare my mind and body. Did anyone else face backlash for big dreams like this or joining the army as a whole?
