RE: My hopes of one day joining the military.
Your time in the military will not be what you think it is.
You think you know, but you do not.
My dad joined the air force as a boy recruit and spent the best years of his life in the service.
You can find out a bit of what it was like for him by following @len.george.
You will not believe the crap he got up to!
Stealing a military aircraft to go on a booze run
Stealing a military aircraft to go on an illegal bombing run (using flour bombs)
Impersonating an officer
Flying faster than the speed of sound - he was ground crew for crying out loud, not a pilot
Not to mention the stuff he got up to in his time off!
So your time in the military will not be as you imagine it. Play your cards right and it will be so much more.
You will have experiences, and get away with things that you can't even imagine today.
And you will be able to share your hi-jinks with the world on Steemit and get paid for it. Now that can't be bad huh?
Sounds amazing, I will definitely go check out his channel. I imagine the military being gruesome and hard in the beginning :)
the first year or so is pure sh*t, the system has to mold you to their way. Realize it, conform until you get away from training camp, and then the world is yours.
Already started realizing it. Now just trying to get in shape and learn to overcome mental barriers so I can make the first few easier on me @len.george
It will be what you make it. You will make friends for life and do things that you could never imagine.
How this all affects you is up to you. Your attitude to life will determine your life :-)
My dad didn't try to do amazing things, but when opportunities came up, he took them and did his best to get as much out of the experience as possible.
And now he has a bunch of stories to tell, just as you will, one day. ;-)
