- teachers don't (can't) walk up to your face and scream at you/namecall, etc
- 6-7 hours a day, 5 days a week, with different teachers is much more tolerable than 24/7
- Relatively MUCH more freedom/individuality in school than in the military
- in primary/secondary school, you don't want the school calling your parents if you act up. In the military, all the consequences are upfront/within legal bounds.
For real, though.
It's why there's a difference between military school and regular schooling, too.
People who are aware of their own strengths and weaknesses aren't "immature" in my opinion, either. I think it would be much more immature to join the military because other people wanted you to or you wanted college money, only to end up going AWOL or something. A friend of mine got a dishonorable discharge from the military at a young age for something similar.
I know myself and I know what I'm good at and where I don't belong.
