    Let me tell you something go to college get your batchlers then join. $%^& all that enlisted crap. Get that officer position make the big money drive the bad ass cars. I know from alot of friends that have joined and hated it for a fact. They said that it wasnt what they thought they were getting in to till they were in. Dont believe all the bull that the recruter tell you at all man. Another thing one of my best friends sister in law joined the Army and they said sure once your done with basic you can come back to GA. Yeah they didnt lie about going to GA although GA near Russia that is lol. Think about it long and hard its a decision that will affect your life. Good luck with it man, but think smart man. Just remember that your there ***** for the enlisted period. That mean you will do whatever they say and go were ever they want you to. In case of war you will be deployed dont matter what you are doing (that means if your in school your going bro).

    I was a military brat for 18 years (father was in AF) and my sister graduated from the United States Air Force Academy and is currently a Captain in Military Intelligence. I support anyone who joins the military for the right reasons.

    Do some research on all the branches before you decide. It sounds as if you havent a clue about the positions offered in each branch. Take as many practice ASVAB tests as you can. The better your ASVAB score, the more choices/options you get for a career path.

    Just remember, when you sign the dotted line... it's a CONTRACT. It's not some crap job at the mall where you can walk out if you're not happy. In this case, you're stuck. You may be placed into situations in other countries where your life is on the line. If you can't come to terms with that, don't join. We don't need you. We don't need another waste of space thats going to complain about having to fulfill the contract they signed.

    How does she like Intelligence? That is my backup plan if the first does not work out for me.

    She LOVES it. She flies to other countries to train with their officers, makes a lot of friends... etc etc. She was in South Korea for a year and is now stationed in Hawaii.

    When she goes away to her *missions* she just kind of.. disappears for a few months. She can't tell us when she's leaving or where shes going. It's only after, when shes back, where she'll call and let us know shes alive. Her last mission was in Brazil.
