I don't know why you guys are jumping down throats about Iraq and Afghanistan...anyone who joined the service now would end up there...why is that uncalled for? Its a fact.
Sorry I scanned the post and didnt see War Machine...my apologies.
No worries about that post guys. I think its fine if someone wants to let their opinion be heard (so long as they are ok with hearing everyone elses)Anyway--I appreciate all the input from everyone so far! Currently, I am in a firefighter academy, and after that I have a job this summer in wildland firefighting--so I'll have a lot of time to debate whether or not I really wanna join the military.Someone mentioned getting their bachelors degree while they were in the Navy? Is that right? I think that'd be a great option for me if it is possible. I have something like 70+ credit hours right now, and I'd really like them to get put towards a bachelors degree (otherwise why go right)?Does anyone have any word about the places you could potentially be stationed in either the Navy or Airforce? I'm leaning towards Navy because I have always wanted to be on/near the ocean (I'm one of those people that is DRAWN to it ya know?)Also, how far will a high ASVAB score really get me? As I understand, it really is only a preliminary thing to get you set into a job that you are capable of doing? Amirite?Thanks guys
One of my biggest regrets was not joining the armed forces.
Although this is not the place for a political debate -- I think socio-political reasoning should be a part of the OP's considerations and thought processes. Does he personally believe and have deep faith in the rationale behind the US military presence in other countries right now? -- is he willing to kill or die for those reasons? Does his personal belief system fit?
