Army or college

**soul** · 07-21-2005, 12:19 AM

Right now im a tough situation, my buddy ships out in the morning for the army. He is going into ranger school.

I planned on doing it in two years after some college, but now im debating if i should call my recruiter tomorrow ASAP so i can ship out, and go with him.

Army Ranger= Greatest experience ill ever have, and many opportunities in life afterwards.

My brother was a ranger also now does Private Secruity in Iraq making close to 1k a day.

OR

Full ride for soccer in Milledgeville, then go to army.

I dont know what to do

im assumin your talkin about clint, but dude thats a big one, one usually that you would have to make on your own what you feel is the best for you not anyone else...i mean i know your prolly goin to miss the kid but do you think thats the best for you or do you wana stay here. i guess what you would really have to decide like i said is if it is for you man

**soul** · 07-21-2005, 12:27 AM

well i was going to leave about a month after school was out, but i was offered this full ride, and so i didnt leave but now im having doubts if i should waste two hyears in college then go or just go now, ill decide tomorrow

**blacknightteg** · 07-21-2005, 12:31 AM

yeah dude, i mean honestly , i wouldnt jus decide over night, that kinda thing is something where a decision like that would indeed take time because you dont want to be regretting it later on, i mean i doubt that you would but that kinda decision takes time, id miss ya if your crazy ass went off to do that n the lord knows where they would ya

College. Get out in four years, dont die, and then you make bank.

My dad was a ranger for 30 years. Told me to go to college.

**HEATON** · 07-21-2005, 03:17 AM

OR be smart bout it, and if you dont mind goin to college DO it dammit then commision. The only reasoni didnt become officer was i went to a College prep highschool and sure as hell didnt wann go to school for 4 more years.

**4dmin** · 07-21-2005, 07:23 AM

how are you just up and gonna goto Ranger school? you have to finish basic before getting doing any schools......and it's a first come first serve basis kind of thing unless you got a ranger contract, which isnt that easy to come by....

my brother in law is CPT at Ranger Regiment here at Benning, I'm just curious on how you are doing this all.

how old are you soul?

**HEATON** · 07-21-2005, 07:50 AM

Either way he gets a full ride to college....

**Kristi** · 07-21-2005, 08:04 AM

i would go to college - you have a full scholarship- i wouldn't pass that up

Do what feels right...follow your heart. Either way, you'll succeed

**HEATON** · 07-21-2005, 08:09 AM

SOUL jus promise me you wont join if you have any doubts. I mean i love the mil but its not for all. Ya know?

**Repost Squintz** · 07-21-2005, 08:33 AM

i say take the full ride... i mean shit wouldnt you rather be with chicks?

**chrisdavis** · 07-21-2005, 08:42 AM

College

**ALVIN** · 07-21-2005, 09:38 AM

college fool...clint will be back one day, or you just might see him in a couple of years. Just keep in touch with him. As for my choice, I'd go to college first, and then if you still want to go to the army after all that go, but finish your free ride first.

**soul** · 07-21-2005, 09:57 AM

Ive decided, im leaving around this time in 2 years

**Kristi** · 07-21-2005, 10:18 AM

good decision - go to school first

**blacknightteg** · 07-21-2005, 10:24 AM

good thinkin man....that way you can see if you really wana leave after those 2 years

**Brandon C** · 07-21-2005, 10:52 AM

Yea I am A little late but Do School then When you join you can be an Officer and thats much more$$$$ and Much Niser especially in the Army could mean the Difference in an Air Conditioned Tent or No AC..Trust me My mom just retired Air Force 32 years and School is Very Important your career will be Much more by doing this..

**BOOSTEDeg** · 07-21-2005, 10:54 AM

If I were you I'd take the college then go into the Army, it will be very difficult to get school while you are in, although it is not impossible. I would go to school get your degree and come in an officer, you could still do Infantry/Ranger. But instead of being a pee-on, you'll be in charge of a Platoon or something. Possibly in charge of your buddy, LOL. If I could have went to school I would have. By the way 90 credit hours to be an officer, keep that in mind.

**AznTraitor** · 07-21-2005, 11:02 AM

never answered my question.

yes surr

**MitsuEvo6** · 07-21-2005, 01:29 PM

if i had a full ride, i woulda gone to school first. I would recommend a ROTC program if they have one. But i didn't get a full ride, so I leave tomorrow....hopefully.

**Eli** · 07-21-2005, 02:26 PM

well i say goto the army, just so milledgeville doesnt have to deal with you, haha.

but honestly- take the full ride while you can get it. but then again- id never even consider the army (though i 100% support our troops and very grateful for what they do, just not something for me).

**Pablo** · 07-21-2005, 02:26 PM

i say college all the way. that is something that you will never experience again while you are young

**99ITRGIRL** · 07-21-2005, 02:29 PM

its up to u. If your determined enough I would go in the Army then college. Or if your not sure, and might change ur mind, I would do the opposite.

**soul** · 07-21-2005, 03:43 PM

Im not doing ROTC or anything just doing my school then Rangers, after im done with my service ill have plenty of career openings (CIA FBI DOE BH or do private secruity which is what i plan on doing)

**99ITRGIRL** · 07-21-2005, 03:44 PM
