    compulsory conscript training here, either taken at the middle of highschool or university years (technically you're merely reserve forces, but in holidays, you could get a free tour to play guns with rebels)

    I dare say I do not have much choice haha. Either they will make me enlist for failing to fulfill my contractual obligations or they will see me be an officer.


    Also Gelatinous Cube was in the army.

    I thought whether you did Army after ROTC was optional?

    Yes I got paid to ride around in a 60 ton Winnebago, crush things, shoot stuff a mile away or more, and blow things up.

    There is some entertainment value in that.

    obviously, Cute Wolf never think that in most western countries, compulsory services in the army is a series of boring training sessions under strict supervisions. Not some simple training with guns and sent to some rebellious areas to blow up some terrorists/rebels/freedom fighter heads
