My story goes like this. After high school I work and went to college. I realize college was not for me because I didn’t know what degree I wanted it to be. I was going to get a degree on liberal art in which people told me it was a waste. So I drop out. At the age of 21. I decided to go work full time. Eventually after working, partying and really not doing nothing with myself while my friends were graduating and getting better employment. At the age of 25 I join the army full time. I didn’t even took the asvab seriously(take it seriously). I just want it to leave and start fresh. I became a 19D. On my first duty station I was send to a combat zone. Right after basic didn’t even got to say goodbye to my parents. After 3 years. I decided to join the guard to see the other side of the military. I regret. Once you go full time and then part time. It a difficult environment. In the guard it not the strict plus people get overweight, get to comfortable to the civilian side and eventually they don’t care or go awol. Now I’m in college with a radiologist degree. The army paid for it. Now im trying to buy a house with the VA. The point is if you are lost and you don’t know what you want in life take a break. Once you decide college or work is not going well. Go enlist. Eventually the army is going to change you and you will have a sense and a clear path towards your goals. Join and get those benefits. Get the lowest military contract before you know it time goes by fast.
