Like most things ment to punish today it has become a badge of honour among the teens (no offence intended shaker) and young adults. Mind you most proberly couldnt hack military life as it means they have to get out of bed at a fixed time day in day out and the same for going to bed. It will drive some stir crazy and into tears claiming they are being bullied. It can work though as a friend of mine was going of the rails but joined up at the last chance saloon and after 6 months he is a totally different person with respect for all. He enjoyed it so much he has been in 12 years now and aint coming out in a hurry.
