You won't be happy as long as you remain in the Army. Take that bold step, follow your dream though it will be challenging but you will definitely pull through.

I never dreamt of being a soldier when I was growing up. My dream was going into showbiz ;majoring in acting. At the age of 12 I was already writing scripts to be acted in our secondary school drama club of which I was always being casted as the lead role because of my level of talent and my ability to improvise when acting on stage. On the long run, I was only able to finish my secondary education and things went south.

I ended up in the army 2012. Initially I thought I would be able to come to the Army and sponsor my education but loo and behold what I met was something different. I came to realize that the Army is only enjoyed by the commission officers. The other ranks are just labourers in military uniform.

Frustration set in. All my plans and dreams are just vanishing before my eyes. I have attempted suicide for close to four times. And the thought is still overwhelming. I feel like run away from the Army and follow my dreams because being the Army is doing more harm than good. Pls advice me.

You didn't mention the country's army. But if is US army must mange. If it's Nigeria army, Bros run when running, let your leg be touching the back of your head.

Have you thought of applying for study leave? Like 5 years with pay? Try it. Then come back and work on getting commissioned though if you are a southerner in this dispensation, it will be very hard indeed.
By then, you would have passed the 10 year mark. If they don't commission you, drop the uniform. At least you will be collecting pension. Then you can pursue your dream or start a security company. There are many short courses in South Africa run by Israelis that teach security skills and other stuff used by ex combatants.

Blackwater in the US was setup by an ex marine. Personnel have all had some military experience. They provide security for embassies and logistics for refugee food and stuff, all paid for in millions of dollars.

See your time in the army as a time to pick up skills that may not benefit you india mike mike in terms of money or promotion, but will feed u later. Skills in weapons and tactics, recce, surveillance, tracking, int, etc.

Do a lot of research. You will have a reason to live and you will not mind the present stress. It is a means to an end.

Thank me later.

Hmmm



Bro i feel ur pain and i know 90% of those in the Army was due to unemployment



Now I've two questions to ask theee...



Are you among those that killed the armless IPOB agitators?



Are you in the military to intimate the civilians?


If non of the above then God will hear your cry


If you are involved in the number one above then there's a thunder currently drinking dry gin in Ejigbo waiting to do the needful


If you are free my only advice for you is to find a way and shoot BUHARI and run away



You will be handsomely rewarded here on earth and in heaven


Thanks

If you had managed to achieve what you wanted to achieve by being in the army you would not feel this way right?
What if you had gone and done what you had hopped to do and it had not worked out I will hazard a guess and say these feelings would most likely manifest regardless.
You are depressed and in a depressed state of mind it’s very difficult to look at circumstances. You have a job at a time when most do not. Is it the job that you wanted? No! How are you going to change your circumstances run away? Or leave? If you leave how are you goong to support yourself? And are you being realistic to your self?

Get treatment for how you feel and then when you are
able to be more perceptive plan how you want to live post army life. Many are in situations that they don’t want to be, it’s purely necessity.

Keep trying to end your life and one day you might suceed there is no coming back from that or worse you might fail and end up with more physical health issues/ paralysis who will take care of you then? And where will the money come from? Our situations don’t change us we change our situations.

Everyone has tough time, if you see me today and I share my past you will never believe me. You will call me a big liar but what you need to succeed in life is to believe in yourself and pursue your dream.

And you still went ahead to type gibberish because of 'likes'...

A friend of mine is also facing same issue. A very bright and intelligent student when we were in secondary school. After secondary school, his dad died, things went south and he couldn't continue with his education. He had no choice than to join the army as a recruit. He is always complaining and thinking of how to leave the work. To him, he said the work is just the typical "monkey dey work, babbon dey chop" Only the senior officers, enjoy military. He said he cant advise any bright student that has a future to join Nigeria Army through the recruit cadre.

I will give u a quote "u are the only one who can create the life u deserve"
The day understand that quote u will change ur life for the best.

I don't dilly dally about issue if it mind or heart isn't into it i drop it that very minute or start the work towards my exit from such pursuit and go for wat i really want or have a passion for. Life is filled with choices and ur choices becomes ur life. Why commit suicide when u have other choices b4 u. I don't know the process of leaving the military bt its obvious thats wat u shud do 1st and then find a newer and fulfilling life for urself.

Very small decisions people have made that have changed the course of their lives for the best because they made the best choices! Dats all

Its either u work u way to becoming an officer if dats wat u desire or leave completely and pursue another vision and u will see u life change b4 ur very eyes. Always know wat u want and begin that journey by taking rite choices amd working towards it. I had the opportunity of joining the military bt i turned it down cos i knew the direction my life wud be going and it was off my plans. So start living ur life now. Cheers

Nb: if u Read books i will recommend a great book to u that cud change ur life and clear ur confusion.
