huh? the fact that one could very likely be called to literally kill or be killed for their paycheck negates the idea that being in the military is like any other job.
That is not what I was talking about but will explain anyway.
That is not ALL of the military. And you can avoid choosing infantry positions. Yes, the stereotype of the military is that they are all meatheads going in to kill/be killed. It is simply not true. Many hold jobs that don't go near a battlefield but are trained to use a weapon in case they are put in that position. Chaplains, firefighters, scientists, cooks, medical persons, the list goes on and on etc. Or Of course you can be put in the line of fire and could be killed or have to kill in the military, but that is not what I was talking about.
The military is like a town. You can get a job in any part of the town. Of course you could be killed working as a police officer or as a stay at home mom who is hit by a bus walking across the street.
But again, that was not what I was talking about. The misconception that certain types won't work in the military because they wouldn't be able to listen to superiors or follow the chain of command because of their
type is what I was referring to. Yes, the ENTP has a mind of their own. But if they can't follow military command or would not be fit because they'd have to do something super cool like what I quoted earlier and the simpler jobs would be just too awful for them (and it is often said condescendingly and have people who were in before rolling their eyes)..... than that ENTP likely can't survive in the real world either. The military is quite like any other job, you have to show up on time, you have to do your assigned duties, just like a civilian job. It IS the same thing as a civilian job and not boot camp 24/7.
