There's something nobody tells you about military service: You'll have to endure all types of weather. What would you add?

No one mentions the psychological problems that we face when providing service, I find that it is a very delicate point but that is avoided to mention even when you are inside.

You will have to endure all kinds of insults and you will have to learn to use them when it touches you.

Nobody tells you that you will have less time with your family and you will surely miss important moments. It's something you know will happen but you don't really know how much it hurts.

They cannot tell you in words how horrible war is, it is something you have to experience to understand.

They don't tell you that basically all the time you feel lonely, even if you're surrounded by siblings you just want to be surrounded by your family.

You will have the opportunity to have new siblings outside your family.

I think no one is really honest about how hard it is to be out of your country fighting for it, I am not saying it is not worth it but it is really hard to adapt to the situation although no one mentions it.

Are there any fully remote lawfirms, ie you don't have to live in the state they have offices? I recently left a large lawfirm to go in-house which came with a huge paycut that is not going to be sustainable long term, but needed a remote position to be able to move. I'd like to keep my current job part-time but get back in a lawfirm too.

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously. The main attorney that I work under had noticed some mistakes I was making (I am a NY paralegal who took this position with the understanding that they’d be teaching me NJ and NYC real estate). Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!
