Because when you join the military you lose control over your schedule, over when you can take a holiday, over when you're going to eat, and even over what you eat.

Having made this present, I had to curtail some of the festivities. I could not have the electric lights I had intended, nor the military band, and the ladies of the house were despondent at it.
