Wow, so you served in JMSDF? Never knew that. How old were you when you enroled? Kudos.
Immediately after I graduated high school, I enrolled. Served for 4 years. Afterwards, proceeded for my collegiate, graduate studies. Btw, JSDF helps pay/ finance education for those who serve. Plus, i joined it it see the world and to build my understanding of the world. Been all over Asia-Pacific.
Military service helps builds character.
