a picture of me becoming an adult and being captured at the age of leaving town for the military seeing others still at that age when it was a new first duty station or life with the horizon of enlisted army life the soldiers future

 always a veteran being frozen permanently at that age so it was fun when i'd see all the people hanging out at the washington dc va medical center it'd remind me of tradoc when people got their privileges you'd see people go get fresh civilian clothes at the mall

so being stuck at that age forever that arrested development if you will so remembering little parts there leaving home for the first time for some or getting exposed to a new region so that impact on young lives with families that care about them

um remember how that started the recruiter and then in processing seeing people go through the system the lines at meps and bct getting issued clothes and getting our heads shaved getting 'indoctrinated' and having to learn the rules and the military bearing

that fragile young picture of us at the end of childhood and now adults no more teenage years um me at nineteen going to fort jackson south carolina fort meade maryland fort gordon georgia schweinfurt germany seeing the world

learning what's right and wrong and doing the right thing um the ethics the training learning my military occupational skill mos um the years in getting sent home for holidays christmas the flight back home again um being a soldier

seeing the world with the military a acoustic guitar um my laptop the barracks making it to formation everyday all day living the army way being around other people fresh out of high school 18yr olds um and coeds progressing through from e-0 to e-4 private pfc specialist almost sergeant um

Can someone help with an answer to this scenario? Is this feasible? Should I invest my energy in something else instead? Was instead I meant to have a guitar legacy? Was I tricked and niave? It seems like countless others get away with this and do it the wrong way.

 Ok let me explain. I don't want complaints or to get kicked out or to have the police called on me all of which have happened before and I don't think I always deserved that. So moving on. I will censor this to avoid setting off admins my intent was not to be offensive or hurtful. Starting off explaining some of this goal in mind was EG I was basically sent to the German brothel. Another was growing up I'd always see these males who were successful with multiple women (before finding out about deal breaker trivia about them) like Jerry Seinfeld John Lennon (Beatles but there's tribute groups as a loophole) Anthony Kiedis (RHCP) the Entourage show Californication or the adult content on the internet those free videos and samplers during my teens. Another jargon on this was logistics things not lining up for reasons like adultery or there were issues in my life I have had resolved somewhat like getting out of debt or having a paycheck. I was a new kid in a town and thing...

Was this actually to my niave innocent ignorance a extremely stupid idea?

 I'll tell you my story on this one. I got stationed overseas. My unit and I were about to deploy to Afghanistan. I was in debt from my student loan and reclassed from my MOS with my bonus. My peers basically told me I was going to become an amputee very shortly. (there's also a little bit of similarity to this and the Adam Driver story too). My unit covered down for me and basically asked what I'd be okay with. I basically got instructed to go AWOL (previously I saved up all my money to pay off my loan with by only eating at the DFAC chow hall) and I did. I first bought a guitar and then used my savings on hotels. Previously another trivia bit was there was a ad in Ft Gordon for Smart Piggy and it said there were high interest rates I had some money in there before cashing out. So while AWOL I recorded what happened to be about the exact amount of a vinyl record in addition to other extra recordings for another album. I was very proud of this album but maybe now much later...
