I want to get discharged from the Navy, but here's why. Do you agree?

But wait, hear me out first. I've been active in the Navy for about 5 months now. I was in Pensacola as an AC, got dropped and now in great lakes as a corpsman, waiting to be classed up. I've been extremely depressed since ive been in, although its nothing new. I've always had a depression problem. It's something I've never gone to a doctor for, and ive never considered any medications. But the reason I want to get myself discharged is not so much the depression, but more directly the fact that I don't want to be a part of the military. It's not what I thought it would be at all. The reason I joined was to get away from home and all the people. People at home were so spoiled and disrespectful and I wanted to be in a place of respect and structure. When I got into the military, or rather now that im out of boot camp, the people here are so... fake. And so brainwashed, in a sense. It's as if they've completely lost sight of more important things in life because the Navy has got them so wrapped up in Bullshit, excuse my language. At the the people back home had a sense of genuity to them. they were real, genuine. It's as if those civilians really understood this universe and what's important, they were all free. And happy. They know and understand where beauty lies in this life. And it definitely isnt here, in this Navy. This Navy is lacking so much genuity. Yes, honor courage and commitment are our core values. But not one person in this Navy i know holds those values in any sense at all. The real core value of the navy is something more like.. hmm.... "Every man for himself." At least that's How I feel about it. But i want out, and back into the real world with real people and I want to experience a more genuine meaningful life. Anyone else agree?
