I want it to still be an option to live a phoneless internetless life
I did it for a few months on my last deployment because my phone broke and I couldn't get a new one without paying a shit ton.
It was peaceful. It was a great release of stress because my chain of command couldn't reach me whenever they wanted to text or call. I loved it so much I kept up with that - I flat out refused to join any group chats that they use to pass info.
