Trying to find some type of spiritual or psychological help while in the military is somewhat impossible. I'm surrounded by kids in their late teens/early twenties and a lot of riff-raff. I'm not a riff-raff type of person. I don't have anything against these guys for acting the way they do, but it can get annoying sometimes, especially when the group leader has shouted three times for everyone to be quiet and whatnot. My superiors are for the most part good. The one for my unit is very strict and I admire that. However, I am constantly reminded about office politics and how one general has more power or less than the other one. They should have placed me in an office type position but instead I got a 'search' type specialty which means that in case of war, I'm going to be in a jeep searching and hunting for information.....in other words, I'll be the first to die. I seriously doubt I'd ever be in a situation involving war but it's kinda embarrassing yet funny because if Greece was in a war, probably 80% of the soldiers would abruptly leave and the remaining duties would fail because no one could ever get coordinated. That's not to say I haven't enjoyed myself so far and not to say I haven't gotten positive things out of my stay with the army so far. I wake up at 5am, 5:30am etc. where before I'd go to sleep at that time. I shave every day and I'm fed certain foods,. I get to go out every other day and I'm experiencing new things each day. That being said, I'm also stuck and can't find a job. I have to do this until the end of july...ugh
