I'm new, and I am probably not your average member

Hello! I'm an interesting case, I suppose. I am and always will be a stoner, however I recently joined the military. Now that I'm through basic, I don't know why I joined. I guess I got this idea in my head that being a stoner was a bad thing, and that being a soldier would 'fix' me. But recently, I've come to a realization. I'm not broken. This is just who I am, and thats okay. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the military ... its just the opposite of who I am in a lot of ways.

I am a free person- there is nothing more that I enjoy than an extended camping trip in the mountains with my friends from back home, swimming in mountain lakes and reading a good book under a tree. That lifestyle may not make me a lot of money, but it sure will bring me a lot of happiness. But now, I'm sitting here in barracks. My life is regimented in every way- I get out of my rack at 0530, I go to PT till 0700, I go to class sessions all day, I go to chow at 1700, then I get some R&R and hit the racks again at 2200. I hate it all- I am so much more than this. I just want to get up and go, but the awnser is never that simple ... this is where my family is now. My platoon has become my family, and I love them all.

They have no idea who I was, and they never will. But now, I guess, what I'm looking for ... is like-minded people- people who I can talk with openly, people who aren't afraid to enjoy the good things life has to offer. People who are willing to be free, people who are taking advantage of the freedom that I try to fight for.
