[QUOTE="768MPH, post: 14257648, member: 130170"] This. I joined the Army when I was 27, and went in as an E-3. I joined Infantry because it was of interest to me. Asvab was 67 with line scores of 120 and higher. I earned my E-4 in 18 month TIS and earned my Stripes in 2.5 years. My mature nature enabled me to bypass others that rather get wasted and not progress. I have had more opportunities due to many wanting to collect paycheck rather than step up and grab the opportunities that they were bitching they werent given. Your career is what you make it, plain and simple; whether it be civilian or military. Go grab what YOU want to do and serve your country by your terms, not by the opinions of others that cant make it in the military or didnt even try. Im not being one sided or rude, like others on this thread bashing the military, Im being honest. There are multiple avenues of approach to make your career what you will. Along with many other benefits that come with the military. Are there shitty days, absolutely, it's life. But you move past them and get shit done rather than bitch about it and waste time. Nobody's decision but yours, write out your reasons for joining and compare to what you feel your best course of action is. Whether it be 3 years or 20, it is a great experience to prepare you for what you intend on doing. My .02 cents. To those of you that have served, thank you for your service; to those who support, thank you. [/QUOTE]
