Today, I'm in a military academy with a strict no alcohol policy. My friends drunk call me practically every night to tell me how much fun they are having. FML

If your friends are out getting drunk practically every night then I would say your gonna be much better off than them.

Good on you for deciding to be one of our sexy men/women in uniform. It'll pay off. Plus, you'll get more franks bought for you in the future when you're wearing your uniform. ;-)

Stay positive. At least you know you're doing something with your life.

So? You shouldn't care about getting drunk if you're doing what you want and being in a military academy.

There's a lot of people who join for the benefits. Not because they really want to.

You don't get into the Military Academies for the benefits, you need to be appointed by your congressman

I also think it's a very noble thing he's doing. He shouldn't need to worry about going out drinking when he's defending his country.

Think of it like this, while you step up to defend what's right, they stay. Locked in immaturity, becoming worthless drunks, with nothing to do than to call someone who is actually moving toward with their life

ha!! defend what's right? It's a military academy, not Greenpeace.

You should be able to have some kind of fun without alcohol.

One, who the hell is saying that the OP deserves it? What exactly is making him deserving of his friends purposely messing with him to make him feel badly about not being allowed to drink? OP, that sucks. You need some new friends. I know one of my exes struggled with not being allowed to drink on base either. Eventually, they got caught, so I wouldn't recommend doing that. haha

While I voted FYL, I do think OP deserves it a tiny bit. S/he chose to enroll there knowing the dry policy.

I chose YDI for the same reason #56 did. If OP cares so much/is jealous that his friends drunk call him when he can't drink, then why are they in that academy? I don't understand why people are saying he needs new friends.

Joke is on them, you're in a military academy. Those are hard as hell to get into, I know because I'm trying.

When you're older, you'll realise you haven't missed out on anything.

First off thank you for what you do for our country OP. And second you'll be better off in the long run. Cuz getting smashed every night and doing stupid things could get you terminated from the military. Be glad you're not doing what they are.
