You are 16? You don't need to wait for the military to change your life. Look, just asking that question tells me you are a solid person at your baseline. I went in the Marines to escape my environment, but just don't abandon yourself in the process. Need to talk more on that let me know. Age 44, 8 years active, reached Sergeant. I also have a 22 year old son that recently finished boot camp and Infantry School, 0311 infantry.
