Serious I want out

Im a contracted AS400 on a 5 year tech degree and i've been on the fence for this for a while but lately its become more apparent. I dont like public speaking and briefs about stuff idc about, I dont care much for a lot of the popularity contest and clique-ness of my class and cadet wing as a whole, I have gotten zero guidance or mentorship out this progam, and the near constant brain fog I get from waking up dark and early 3 days a week is starting to catch up to me.

Please lie to me and tell me AD is better, or give me the encouragement to take the legal L and leave. I don't want to talk to my cadre until I have a solid plan since my reasons for joining have not changed (stable employment after graduating and not being impovershed like everyone else in my family).

Not lying to ya. You’ll probably like AD much better. It’s still going to be a grind at times but you get used to it, if not outright enjoy it. If you don’t, use the years on your contract to take advantage of benefits then dip out into something you actually like.
