Thank you Richard for starting this thread. I have been trying to think of ways that the military affected my submission and I really can't pinpoint anything at all so this is a real hard one. I will keep thinking and hopefully have something interesting to post.
One of the reasons I enjoy my role as a submissive is because I prefer to be told what to do. I'm terrible at making decisions for myself and frequently make the wrong ones, so I like having someone to guide me. If I were eligible for military service (I'm queer and have medical issues, so I'm not), I might consider it for the guidance...and the money for college!
