You can get out of it if you punch a CO.

I lived there as a teenager for a couple years lol, learning to be invisible made it so much more bearable.
Also befriending at least 1 figure of authority by pretending to be what they think is respectable/honorable, can help a lot in case you get in troubles with another one.
Basically the more you become a chill unproblematic filler character the more slacking off you'll get away with without anyone noticing.

Oh also don't let anyone smell your weakness in anyway shape or form, you can hide that with a smile.

Get out often, don't be a barracks rat, this will help out a lot. Hangout with friends, or if you don't have friends, there's usually a hangout spot on post (I forget what they're called) that have videogames, pool, table tennis etc. that are made for hanging out and meeting people. You could also visit the recreation center on post as they tend to have groups that you can sign up for and meet people and do something fun.

Just don't keep yourself locked up, because you'll go nuts and it will make that shitty barracks room even shittier.

What shitty barracks, when you get to a duty station or in training?
Which branch?
You're going to have to be more specific because the experience of these things are wildly different service to service and between different stages of your early career. Just because they're all technically barracks there's an enormous difference between Marine Corps and Air Force, for example.

You might be in an open squad bay with 90 dudes in Marine Corps recruit training or you might be in 2 or 3 person rooms in Air Force summer camp where you sit around and braid each others' hair and make keychains.

If you like it, don't get drunk and jump out of a second story window.

If you don't like it, get drunk and jump out of a second story window.

Just stay as a wierd little fan of Miku in Hawaii and never enter American Politics. Also, don't marry Big Michael, it won't end well for you someday.
