My sister joined the Marine Corps straight out of high school and is very disciplined. I once commented to her that I'd considered joining up as well to help myself become more disciplined. Her response was that the training had nothing to do with it. There were plenty of her fellow Marines that would still be total slobs, left to their own devices and that she knew plenty of people with no military background who were just as disciplined as she is. Partly, you get out what you put into it, it takes some amount of desire and will. But partly too, it depends on who you are and the environment you were shaped in at a much younger age.
