Message:: [QUOTE="Jwt708, post: 1890763, member: 32619"]I mentioned this to him before. I enlisted in the Air Force when I was 20. Best decision I ever made. I went in with a semester of college under my belt and had only worked at a couple fast food places, as a laborer on construction sites, washed cars, and sold fireworks. I was not in shape...not fat but not in shape. In return for enlisting I got a paycheck, a place to live, food, job training, a job, free college, and have lived in New Mexico, Washington, South Korea, and England. I've traveled to various cities around the U.S. for both work and pleasure and have spent time doing my j0b in various countires including Iceland, Sicily, United Arab Emirates, Afghanastan, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait...I might be missing some. I'm currently working towards a bachelors and in posession of an associates. I have ten years experience working aircraft and five of those in a supervisory position. The military can be a great opportunity. Besides everything I mentioned, it gives you a chance to be part of something greater then yourself and to do good work for your country. I thin the Navy recruting slogan is something about a being a force for good and that's true regardless of what branch of service you go into. When a disaster strikes, it's the military that responds and is there saving lives and helping people. I could go on about this, and would happily discuss enlisting in any branch with anyone who is interested.[/QUOTE]
