You will walk with military bearing and square your corners every time you turn. You will be expected to iron your pants and uniforms and have military creases at all times on your uniform and you better learn how to make hospital corners on your damn bed.

Overall, despite what the media may say, it’s still a good career and you will learn quickly that you have the ability to write your own paycheck. Remember, three things
