A friend of mine who was in the military said it was like living in a socialist country. Everything is provided by the state, you don't have to worry or take care of yourself. But, at the same time, your job is assigned, you don't make any decisions or minimal ones to determine the parameters of your own life. From the way he described it, it sounded like he thought that aspect of it was kind of nice.
