Show Brent Huff tob r 2009 BH: Sure, yeah. JCW: We're jumping ahead a little bit, but you've been continually, like every couple of years, it seems like, gone back into the military even for a short period of time. BH: Yes, I'm like a dirty whore (laughs). JCW: I mean, is that why? Talk about that. BH: That's a huge part of it. I mean, honestly, though, I really like a lot of the aspects of the culture. It's the only place that you get socialized medicine. Basically your employer actually has an interest in you. If I'm angry, depressed or sad that's something that the person in charge of me cares about. They care about my physical fitness. They care that I have the right clothing. They just, it's a good structure that way. Also the people you work with aren't just people that you work with; you live with them. You accomplish tasks with them that allow you to become closer than you're ever going to be with civilians. Even though it's weird, because I have a lot of friends that I consider super close, like that in the civilian world we don't talk that much, but I feel like they'll always be my really close friends. But maybe the context isn't that [WAV2, 5:14]. I know that I've offended people that I've gone to school with or worked with or, for instance like last summer I did a study abroad to Spain. I remember sitting around the table with the guy that had been my roommate for the summer and the other guy we kind of hung out with and they were just talking about, "Let's hang out and talk on Facebook," and I was pretty cynical. I said, "We won't" (laughs) because obviously we like each other, but I probably wasn't his favorite person. I'm fairly cynical about that. I gave him my realist opinion on it. 8 |
