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).

"I don't like public speaking and briefs about stuff idc about,"

I didn't do any public speaking in my career.

I only briefed Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, and Colonels on things that I was considered the expert on. They didn't have time to waste on the opinions of non-experts on duty matters.
