You need to decide what kind of job you would like to do. There are pros and cons to each service. Figure out where you see yourself in 5-6 years as well.
AND FOR GODS SAKE =- TAKE THE SHORTEST ENLISTMENT POSSIBLE so incase you do not like the armed forces you can get out quickly! It will save your NCO's like myself alot of headache!

hahah yeah this is good advice. Depending on the length of your AIT (job school) you will have a minimum enlistment period.Originally Posted by Truegiant
TAKE THE MINIMUM. Even if it means a lower enlistment bonus (if you even get one), take the shortest enlistment available.
If you like the military and re-enlist (getting a bonus in the process usually), you can do it sooner. If you dont like it and want to get out ASAP, you can do it sooner.
Good advise, but to clarify, take the shortest enlistment for the job you want. Dont do just any job because it has a shorter enlistment.
Yeah thats what I meant. That way you can decide early in your career if you actually want to stay in or not. Plus you can request things like re-classing, moving to a different unit, requesting a military school, etc..
