Night time is quiet, no loud talking downstairs, no annoying kids yelling outside, mostly no sirens, less cars = less noise, good time to calm down and think about stuff… stuff like weird philosophical questions and questioning if reality is real, also browsing the web in silence, looking for my next [youtube video / film / tv / anime] to watch.
It’s like 6:30 AM here lolz.
They are not very accurate. You’re more likely to get yelled at by a NCO(non commissioned officer) than by an officer on a day to day basis. Most officers are like middle managers until you hit the O-5 to O-6 rank. Officers give out orders, NCOs carryout orders using junior enlisted personnel. Most harassment stops outside of basic/advanced training, unless someone in your unit gets in trouble and then they might do a mass punishment where everyone is cleaning the barracks on a Friday night or over the weekend. I’m white, so I can’t speak much to the discrimination part, other than it didn’t happen much in the jobs that I was in. I’m positive it happens, but it didn’t happen out in the open when I was in. Obviously the current administration for the US government is changing that a bit. I can’t speak for the person you asked the question to, but I had two combat deployments and two trips to South Korea, with a solid bit of PTSD from the deployments.
I was in the Navy and I can corroborate this. I’ll add to it that a lot of our teachers at A school were O-1 to O-3 (Ensign to Lieutenant) and they were pretty cool. We used to mess with them from time to time when they left the building by lining up and making them salute all the way to the parking lot. They were good sports.
