I woulda done terrible as a new member, its one thing to drafted, trained, and sent out with a purpose and something to come back to, its an entirely other thing to be flung into a gigantic war fighting with a weapon you've never used against an enemy that has the ultimate hostages. In addition to this you're around no one you know of old, who might easily get u killed or even betray you when things get tough. Like i said i would be terrible, how would it feel to be forced to take orders from someone you dont know, who might get you killed, all for some vague promises that if you succeed and hold on for a year that you might (probably never) get to see something normal? You would have to be a strange person in my opinion to cope okay with that. But as for me? i would flee as fast as the hounds of Hades away from everything that destroyed my life.
