In my experience, reading about culture and experiencing culture are completely different. The best way with most things is first hand experience. Socialize with people of said culture, maybe share a meal or a drink. It definitely gives people a different outlook.
If that answers the question.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't force them to drink.
Give them the information, let them make the decision. If you force it, the odds are you will only get resentment....

SSG (Join to see) my apologies on not being more specific. I was referring to foreign culture. I never even considered military culture or army culture as something someone should struggle with. Would you mind sharing some instances in which you have seen people struggle with those if you have any, please?

Especially those with good grades and good standing that resign from the place before their commitment attaches. I was one of those at USAFA. The military has a culture as distinct and real as any foreign nation. It is why many of us on RP identify with each other so strongly.
