She is going to be a combat medic, which according to her means she’s going to be on the front lines with a group of soldiers, although she won’t be doing any fighting herself.
I have a lot of family members that were in the military including my father, so they understand what it’s like. I grew up with my parents telling me to never join the military and how bad it is, which means I’m biased against it, although my bias is based off the opinions of people that were actually in it.
I’m honestly more worried than excited for her. She does have problems with anxiety and depression, but she’s never saught treatment so she’s able to hide it from them. I’m very worried that she will get killed or come out of it with an even worse mental state. She does seem to be very excited to do it and I’m glad that she’s excited, although I’m still very worried.
Combat medic is better than solider, but still not ideal. I have an aunt who was an epidemiologist in the military, and she’s only been in a couple of dangerous situations, fortunately. From what she said, the sexism was pretty bad.
That’s worrying indeed. There’s a reason they screen for those conditions. Even previously mentally stable people will lose their shit. I hope she’ll come back to her senses and consider an alternate career path.
