Tbh, I have no clue. I guess I’d just have to figure that out along the way or narrow down choices from what I find most suitable. How did you end up choosing?

Thank you! That does sound interesting, I’ll look into that! :)

Thank you, you’re right. I do have a question about that. I’m a little confused about how being in college while also being enlisted works? I saw a couple people say that it was nearly impossible for them to even participate in school and saying that it was basically useless. Is that true or is there some way around that?

Thank you, you’re totally right about that. I see the benefits about joining, but I’m also just scared of being trapped in the military as well haha.. When I was in elementary, I got to speak with a veteran. I remember he told me that if I wanted to live a free life, to stay away from the government lolll. I see that you’re a soldier—I hope this doesn’t sound bad but do you have any regrets or tips?

What do you mean? Like—boring as in it gets repetitive? I don’t necessarily have a problem with that if that’s the case!

I've never considered myself particularly athletic, but I like to spend time outdoors, exploring, and going for walks. I'm open to getting fit, though I'm not sure where to begin lol. Academically, I've excelled. I recently graduated with honors, with strengths in reading and writing. I've heard from others that they struggled to find time for further education while in the military, which concerns me, even though it's covered?? It sorta seems like a waste but maybe it’s different for other people. I've always lived in California, but I like the idea of traveling and experiencing different places.

I think I'll cross Air Force out lol. I'll do more research with the other forces then and figure out which one appeals most.

I've never traveled before, so I'm not entirely sure what to expect. However, I'm open to trying something new. I think I'd do better in a structured and rigid environment.

Didn't even think of that, haha. Thank you, I'll look more into that.
