GO FOR IT...I spent 30 yrs in the Air Force and LOVED every DAMN minute of it...Including MULTIPLE deployments and 4 combat zones, one including Vietnam...also, see if you can get you're degree (in anything) and become an officer...Good Luck and God Speed!!!
Off Topic but I want to ask you something about pitching. My son who is now 15 used to be a solid pitcher. He had absolute command of the zone since 10 years old. I got him up to 70 MPH by12U playing travel ball and he was killing it. Then out of the blue he decided he didn't want to pitch and switched to 2B and hitting. I think he wanted to play every day and not do the PO rotation. Is there anything I can say to him that might get him back on the pitcher route? I have tried but he just won't do it. He said he didn't like the pressure of being the pitcher.
He is the only youth pitcher I have ever seen that can command the zone the way he did. It is kind of unreal.
Serving your country is an honor no matter which branch you choose. I'm a retired Navy Special Operations Diver (EOD). There will be tough times, and there will be fantastic times. It all averages out. I have no regrets. In fact, I find myself wishing I too could turn the clock back just to do it again!!
Yes, go talk with the recruiter and see what they have to offer and if that meets your plans. Remember, once in Club DD214. you're part of a unique relationship with your Country. You are that security blanket that allows the rest of us to sleep at night. God bless you Patriot....
I think even u/eagledriver will concur: Remember, if it's worth it to you, then nothing will hold you back!! Good luck! Be honest with the recruiter. It will make the process much easier. Depending on your desired career occupation, You may have to wait for a job opening, but it'll be worth it. Start getting yourself in shape ASAP. We need more like you to ensure our Constitutional Republic stays as originally designed. Good luck and God speed to you fren!!
One more very important thing to remember. As you raise your hand and take that all important first oath is an oath that you will not be relieved of until you release your last breath.
