****Sorry guys if I posted it in the wrong place****

Ok first off I am not making this thread to get attention nor am I bullshitting when I write any of this. Also, I am not asking anyone to make this choice for me, but just for my good friends and others to be supportive and give me some inputs.

Growing up since day one I have lived on a Military base and most of you know that my father, and two brothers were and still are in the Army. Wasn't just some enlisted guys who wanted to just get away from the parents or wanted a change, they wanted to the most dangeous jobs possible. My brother followed my dad's footsteps and went into DeltaForce and my younger brother just did active duty. Growing up around all this I have learned so much and many things were taught to me that I probably should of never found out about, but thats what you get when you have a crazy fam.

Since HS I have always wanted to enlist, but during the time being my father didn't want me to get involved in the Army, so I contiuned school. Now I just feel its time for me to go. I want to do this, but the only thing that I am scared of is leaving my fam, friends and everything and anything I know. Its a huge step but I am willing to do it. This isn't my escape to not attend GT, because I did get accepted and I will attend the school afterwards if I decide to go. As most of you know my father is going back to Iraq for a good while. What happen to him the first time he was there I will never forget. It was hard enough concentrating on school knowing my best friend was across the world from me. Some of you might say that there could be a chance I wont go to Iraq. But picking a certain job I love and asking to be sent there I will be shipped out right after bootcamp. Of course I won't be stationed at the same base as my father over there, but knowing I am in the same country as him if something were to happen makes me feel so much better.

This isn't my final decision, but it has been on my mind for a long time. I just want to know what some of you think. You may think I am crazy and maybe I am, but I think overall I would come out of this strong and capable to do anything else. I guess you can say I am next in line to follow my dad's footsteps. Wish me luck if I go. Thanks.
