Ill just throw my opinion about the military in. Im a SGT in the Army, 11b (infantry) and have one Afghanistan deployment under my belt. Someone already said it, but ill repeat it, the military is not for everyone, I am a perfect example. Dont get me wrong, it has done a lot of great things for me and I do not regret any of it but it can be a hard life. I am quite excited for the day I ETS. One thing I have to say about the Army, especially thinking of it in career terms, you will likely not find better benefits anywhere and you cant complain about that retirement. You have a few options on how to do it, goto college, come in as an officer, a few have recomended this here. Not a bad way, but the best officers I have ever worked with were enlisted first. That will honestly all be personal preference. Do you want to be a soldier and the lead and train soldiers, or do you want to make decisions? One thing to really think about with the Army is its a lifestyle, not a job, and it affects your entire family. Feel free to PM me with specific questions if you have any.
