Everyone thinks im crazy for joining the Army when i get out of HS. Im just getting pulled in two directions. What do you guys think i should do?
I came up with thinking that I would rather die protecting my country then die a nobody.

But wouldn't u, Private Shadow, prefer to go to of military academy after highschool? If u do u can make a lot of mistakes and not cost anyone's life. After graduating u would have more experience in the military field.
Also, the ladies would brag and say,"My man went to ... and is a soldier."
he'll just have more money and females to do it with.

I believe that the ONLY way to be prepared for such real-world situations is real-world experience, and no schooling can substitute for that.
This is based mostly off of the experience of growing up in a very small town full of retired NCOs.
It's not, Sir? Then why the heck did I sign on the dotted line. Dang recruiting officer lied to me.
