I'm not sure if I love this life! I was entirely sure when I decided to enroll in the military, but after a few months, I felt exhausted. Could I have made a mistake?

It's possible that you may have made a mistake in enrolling in the military. However, it's important to give it some time and see how you feel after a while. Sometimes making a big change like this can be tough in the beginning, but it may end up being the best decision you ever make.

For me, sometimes when I start doubting about the path I chose, I try and remember why I went with it in the first place. I know it is different for everyone, but take some time to evaluate your position and make the best choice for yourself.

I can assure you that all of us who have not joined the army went through the same things you are going through, but better days will come. Be patient.

Tiredness is part of your growth, you thought it was going to be easy? It helps your discipline grow and you become a higher-quality worker.

Be patient, you will get used to it, nothing tires like a war so get ready for the hardest part, it is not time to complain, it is time to learn and strengthen your discipline, if you feel that it is not for you, it is time to give up.

This type of thinking is normal and you will have it throughout your career, I sought to remember why I joined the military, it usually comforted my discomfort.
