I disagree . You can fit two or three lighters in the space that 12 waterproof matches take up , not only can you start a fire off the flame , but even if the fuel has run out you still could get quite a bit of use off the flint sparker in the roller . I will admit , however , that waterproof matches as in boat matches are a blast and burn pretty hot for about 2 minutes , which is ample time to get a fire started . <| sep |> Like the animal ideas <| sep |> I think the military is super easy . Really , to succeed in the military all you need to do is show up on time , perform at the same level as your peers , and not get off trouble off duty . If you want to excel it ' s not even that difficult . I ' ve found that many people just want to be at work for 8 hours and then go home . You don ' t even have to stay late , you just have to put in effort for the full 8 hours and , at least from the 4 units I ' ve been in , you ' ll be ahead of 75 % of your peers . On top of that , pretty much anything you will ever need to do or know is written down somewhere in an AFI , Tech Order , OI , or policy letter somewhere . It ' s just a matter of knowing how to find it . If you know how to do that , congrats , you ' ve won .
