Seriously kid, don't join the military. You're the same age as my nephew and I managed to talk him out of following in my footsteps. Go to college, listen what we're saying. We've been there, it sucked poo poo. Don't make the same mistake we've all made. If things don't go right and you can't get into college, maybe MAYBE think about joining... Like when you're in your twenties.

Seriously, don't join combat arms. I was infantry. I have crippling PTSD from seeing about 16 of my friends get killed in various ways while in Iraq, sometimes uncontrollable raging anger that I barely have a hold of. Somehow I've managed to not drink myself to death or suckstart a shotgun despite all this. Lots of other infantry guys can't go one day without being blackout drunk to dull the pain and anger. I worked minimum wage poo poo jobs once I got out for 2 years until the VA decided to give me my disability rating. I lucked out and got 90%. The vast majority of dudes won't even see half that. That is literally my only saving grace. Even though I can live the rest of my life not doing poo poo because I have Uncle Sam's Disney funbucks, I still have to deal with the pain, the depression, anger, sadness, and destroyed bowels from being exposed to who knows what for the rest of my life as well. Don't loving join.

Don't get me wrong, I don't regret joining the infantry. I don't regret making the friends I did and the job I did. It just comes with a lot of baggage, and of course the not so glamorous parts of being a soldier. Also peacetime army is going to be retarded as gently caress.

The air force needs more people to rape  My guess is there's always going to be people getting out and positions that need to be filled. Just not like the surge where they needed nothing but meatbags to fill the grinder with.

Same. We did it at Yakima from about 9 in the morning to 10 at night. The 240s and .50s had glowing barrels. Had to swap out barrels all day long.

I forgot the name of our rock. It was a huge heavy fucker, and when you were dumb you had to paint it intricately with American flags and poo poo and then carry it with you everywhere you went.
