[QUOTE="TimeWizardCosmo, post: 9043, member: 2"] [b]The Military[/b] Are you planning on being enlisted, or an officer? I made the same mistake when I joined.... I wanted to join RIGHT THEN and I wanted to slap my signature on those forms as fast as I could. Make sure you're getting into a career that, A- You will be happy doing, and won't put you in harm's way for the most part B- Can translate to a civillian job after your tour is up or you retire. C- Don't let them shaft you the way they did me. I could have gotten a 15 thousand dollar bonus if I'd played a little hard ball. Make sure you're guranteed duty station of choice. Basic isn't a piece of cake either, but in the end when you look back, you'll see it was pretty exciting. Take your time with this. Once you sign any of those documents, the government OWNS you, for a period of no less than 3 years. You will be government property. I knew a guy who got a really bad sunburn and he was fined a couple hundred dollars for "Destruction of Government Property". No joke. I entered as the lowest rank (an E1), but some managed to enter as E2s or E3s. One guy in my platoon in basic actually got in as a Specialist... One rank below Sgt. There are ALWAYS special little chores you can do to enter as a higher rank. Passing a physical fitness test beforehand was one way I could have gone when I joined.... College credits are another way as well. [/QUOTE]
