I am new

[hootonn]

Hi my name is Nate, I am interested in joining the services. For almost four years now I have been going back and forth on what I want to do, if I want to go into the military or not. and if I did go in, I want to know what service to choose. I am looking into going to school, further educate myself.. Better myself on a daily basis. I want to have the experience of the military life behind me. My family is also scared for me to go over cause of the war that is going on. But I know what I am getting myself into. Is there anyone else out there that has been going back and forth on ever signing up? Right now I have nothing holding me back but a girlfriend. Any words of wisdom or anything would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, Nate. Good Luck on making the right choice. Remember, GOD IS WITH US ALL....HE WILL GUIDE YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION....oh, & I want to sign-up as well, but my parents don't want me to, so....My other option....The one that I'm STICKING to is: VIDEOGAME DESIGNING!!!! (VGD) I want to create videogames.....if that's not strange then try this on for size....

CL(A)SS OF 2009!!!!!!!

anyways.....I would personally choose J.A.G. but that's just me...I wanted to be a lawyer & work with J.A.G. one day, but then I changed my mind and now I want to be a VGD!!!, but the J.A.G. position I know is always available....Once again....

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

&

FROM ALL OF US HERE IN VEGAS TO ALL THE MILITARY, MARINES, NAVY, COAST GUARD, ETC.

"GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.!!!!!!!!!"

Well, Nate, I can say personally that I did not waiver back and forth before I joined, I wanted it for some time. However, I think I can give you some of this so called wisdom you speak of. You said you were looking to school, and you also wanted the experience the military has to offer. Well, why not both? Why not have your school paid for while you attend? I am active duty military, and I have been to Iraq and back. There is no shortage of education opportunities while in the military. I have been going to cl***es since I have been in, and will soon have my ***ociates degree. However, I wouldn't trade my military experience for a master's degree. You said your family is scared? So was mine. They still are, for I am deploying again in 2 months. The thing is, this is no one elses decision but yours. If you dont sign up because your family is scared, what that tells me it's not just them who is scared, if you catch my drift. Besides, it is alright to be afraid, I am every time I go over, but I **** it up and do it. I enjoy it too, being able to help people around the world. Lastly, you said nothing is holding you back besides a girlfriend. Truth is, nothing is holding you back. I had a girlfriend when I left for basic, and she broke up with me before I departed boot camp. Girls come and go. She may stay with you, she may not, but that is no reason to change life altering decisions. Like I said, this decision is your's, not anyone elses, so either you want it, or you dont. Oorah, Nate.
