I would say that if you are going to join the military, go to university and become an officer is what I would tell anybody. I have to tell my son that over and over. We just live up the hill from our MC and he’s infatuated with the military but I push officer on him. It’s a different breed of people. I would also say take the time to think about what you are getting yourself into. This isn’t I’m gonna join the army and say four months later say I want out. That’s not how it works. It becomes very difficult once you’ve signed a contract. You can get out but like I said it’s difficult and you need to educate yourself. The world is a lot different than it was when I was even in high school. It’s a harder world now.
