Volunteer Service

Penguin got me thinking, this volunteer military service is bull****. Volunteer? I'm not a ****ing volunteer!

Volunteers are choosing to work, I'm not. A signed on the dotted line over a year ago, but do I choose to go to work? No, I'm forced to. On Tuesday when I go back, do I have a choice? Do I get a chance to volunteer my service for the day? No, I'm forced to go, punishable by law if I don't show up, even punishable by law if I'm late. When's the last time a volunteer got jail time for not going to work?

Volunteer service my ass. I quit.

Like I said, it really doesn't sound like much of a volunteer service or even normal work.

I mean when I volunteered at places, I could come and go as I pleased (but you don't want to, want nice recommandations and sometimes a job in the future).

A place where if your disgruntled and want to leave, but can't do to law isn't volunteer. It isn't exactly right either. Folks should be able to leave on their own free will, but I guess not everything works that way.
