Im not saying its bad to be in the military. I had a sour experience. I went took the asvab(?) and was told I could choose anything I wanted for a career I agreed to sign If they could get me flying (AIR FORCE) of course they didnt tell me I had to have four years of colledge to even be an officer ( something else I dont agree with) anyways I had a suspision something wasnt right. Me and two buddies went to the MEPS (? physical and papers before boot camp) and it just didnt seem right. Long story short the other two guys got shoe horned into firefighting and aircraft refueling both were extremely bitter as that was not the jobs they wanted either. Anyhow I really think for some its a good deal. live for free, get paid, learn something and get money to go to school when your done. Perhaps I was just "done wrong" by my recruiter and figured it out at the last second.I have had many friends go in and be fine with it. I on the other hand wouldnt. I know now that you can work details out in writing with recruiters but most kids dont think they can. So I hope I didnt offend you just voicing my experience or so called lack thereof. Best of luck to you and all of the others currently fighting for democracy.
