Yes, I quite agree that there can be a lot of BS, but there are also lots of experiences you wouldn't get anywhere else.
As a civvy would you ever:
Go on a dems refresher course, where the instructor says "What do you want to blow up now?"
Set up an OP in someones garden at 01:00, then spend 15 minutes giggling quietly as the householder tries unsuccesfully to get their little dog to go out for a p1ss? (You had to be there)
Fire an LMG from the hip?
Eat cheese possesed?
Etc.
