I was an officer, but went to Officer Training School (OTS) which is a 12-week boot camp kind of approach, and I came to post similar thoughts. My dad was in the AF so I knew there was some level of BS to deal with, and just put up with it until I finished. I looked at it as a small price to pay to have an opportunity to get out in the world and do something better with my life which has paid massive dividends ever since.

It's all way less of a pain than Army and especially Marine basic, of course. I honestly think that for a big percentage of young people, doing a term in the military would be a big personal win.
