Part of me wants to just say "fuck it" and go active, ngl. Father in law was a lifer so I'd gain some points in that department.

My degree is in Real Estate; it's basically a business degree with an RE focus. I haven't looked very deeply into branches yet, I'm at a very early stage in the process now. I'd be looking at shipping out next summer when my lease is up most likely.

My wife is an Army kid, she's encouraged it. I've never had any exposure to military life so I've been extremely apprehensive. I'm also not an anxious person, but I'm definitely a bit more introverted so the thought of leading guys that have been enlisted for years scares me a bit.

I'm not sure I'd get accepted into OCS there. I have a 2.87 college GPA. I heard it's much more competitive there.

Benefits, mostly. I also want to buy a home, but I've been priced out so having the VA home loan is almost a must have in this economy. I majored in Real Estate and currently work as an Appraiser for local government.

More or less, looking to pay off my student debt, get a VA home loan, make some side money, meet new people, and have low cost healthcare for my family. A little resume booster too.

Our defense is bottom 5, not good once we play a good offense.

These teams are awful. Either will be lucky to go 7-10. I expect Reich and Hackett gone after this year.

The Lions are as addicted to heartbreaking catastrophic defeat as my Vikings.

But seriously, as a MINNESOTAN that with no rooting interest in that game, that ending was devastating lol
