vet's make up 1/4 of the homeless population, that's 25% to you and me, so that theory just went right out the window.. some great mental strength they must have, most of them i see are standing talking to themselves under some under pass...
i'm not trying to be a dick, i'm just a realist, and don't want to see anyone get fucked up doing some dumb ass shit, but hey, it's your life m8, do as you see fit, just realize it's not all it's cut out to be, and the pitfalls are many..

But do you know why it's not worth it? It would be worth it to die to save a babies life right? Well what if they are actually protecting us? I think if they're protecting us, then it's worth it.

Join the Navy, do a couple of tours, here is the issue I have explained to other young people. 90-91 were the two biggest birth years in decades. With that said those kids, mine included, that got associates degress are now in the work force, the next two years even more will enter. More than ever in history, put that together with the 500k or so troops that will no longer be needed with the wars coming to an end and you have more people entering the workforce in decades. This at a time when US manufaturing and jobs are at a very low numbers. If you join up now for four years you will be ok. If you just enter the workforce look for lower wages and tougher jobs. Just saying there is a lot more to think about. The Navy would be the place to go, Air Force Troops are on the ground in hot areas. Navy is out a couple hundred miles well out of the way of fire. If we ever engage any enemy that could reach those ships they are the same countries that can hit us right at home. Hope this helps and good luck to you.

And let's be honest...
A lot of girls will fuck the hell out of you just for being in uniform.

They are protecting us, if the war was not over there it would be over here.

Dude we are not protecting nothing right now but our governments wallets!
Ok, so out of all the armed services, probably the airforce is more "people friendly" and less strict from what I understand. Their bootcamp is the shortest (last I knew it was only 6 weeks versus Marines at 12+ weeks and Army/Navy around 8 weeks).
Look, joining the military is no small decision these days. You really need to consider if you're willing to lose certain rights you are simply given by virtue of being born in the U.S. (assuming you were). For example, you no longer get to just "go on a 5 day road trip half way across the country" if it strikes you to do so--if you're on vacation (leave) and some shit goes down, they can call you back immediately from vacation; you no longer have the right to voice your political opinion about the President of the U.S., as he is your commander in chief and you can be disciplined for voicing anything but "Yes sir, I support my commander in chief;" You will be treated a certain way depending on the # of stripes on your collar even if you're very intelligent/older/mature....a private or airman is shit on your shoe; YOU CAN'T SMOKE POT--or if you do you have to deal w/the stress of whiz quizzes; and of course there's that little thing called war that we're in the middle of and you could die.
Now...if you are ok w/living w/out the freedom you're used to; you are ok w/dumber people than you telling you what to do; you are ok w/the possibility of going to war/PTSD, etc. and can assume this responsibility, then the military can be a great thing due to health benefits, consistent paycheck, GI Bill, potential to travel (not guaranteed), etc.
Don't make this choice though...because you can't think of a better option. Just my 2cents.

I don't take offense to anything you're saying. I'm hearing you out. If I didn't want to hear opinions like yours I wouldn't have asked and I would have just joined today. I'm actually thinking through it.

hmm i would recoomend some type of training the milliary is a good choice. lots of things to learn there. dont really concern yourself with the "war" because your are just a guygetting paid to do a job where someone might shoot you in the head, but still even saying that it pays pretty good.
its not like you just became a cop, so i would say go for it if you dont mind putting your neck on the chopping board for a paycheck.
as far as protecting this country, well theres rarely a war where a side is actually doing that anymore.
