[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

If your between 16 and lets say 28, were not born with a silver spoon in your mouth, are not an ass hole, know the difference between right and wrong, are proud to be a U.S. citizen and have a sense of wanting to be a part of the solution , not the problem then joining the Military is a good idea...

In the military you will be humbled, stepped on, chit on, be led by (some) who belong in prison or reform school, be a second class citizen sometimes, lose some rights, not get paid well, eat crappy(depending on which service you join), and overall by the end of the first year you will wonder why you joined.

Now if you take the positives of the first paragraph, go in with an open mind, apply yourself, look at this as a LIFE LESSON, want to expand you horizon, see the world, learn diversity, learn life, learn or expand your desired occupation, experience good things that less then 1% of the worlds population will ever know, grow up then it is a good step...
