>>27717192I am 22 years old.
I tried to enlist in the USMC at 17 out of high school, but a shoulder injury prevented me from leaving for Boot 2 months prior to my ship date. I went to community college and fucked around, attempted to enlist again but blew out my knee at the gym. Neither injury is an automatic DQ, I've actually spoken to recruiters since.
I am in EMT school currently. The state is paying for me to go, because I am a member of a volunteer corps.
The army has offered me some very interesting contracts in the last 3-4 months, 68w, 35m, Opt40s, 18xs, CID. I'm very much interested in 68w.
The Marines offered me a guaranteed slot in Recon School, but that's it.
The Navy offered me a SEAL Challenge thing, where they hook you up with a SEAL mentor, then you train for upwards of 6 months and if your mentor thinks you'll pass BUD/s, you go.
Coast Guard offered me a chance to be in the Coast Guard, and because of how they work, any job I wanted.
But here are my issues:
1) I have a girlfriend. Of 3 years.We've talked about me enlisting, she's cool with it, we'd get married after I finished AIT and got to my first station. Still, would be hard to uproot her like that.
2) My ambulance corps. While they themselves haven't spent any money on me, I feel obligated to give them time back, you know?
3) I can't fucking decide what branch/mos I want. Seriously I flipflop on it so often it hurts. So many jobs appeal to me, and so many fields, but at the end of the day I know I want to be an operator. I just don't think I want to -start- as an operator. (Opt40/18x for example) because then I feel I wouldn't have a full understanding of how line units work.
4) I don't want to enlist to sit stateside. I actually want to fuck up ISIS. I despise them. I find them repulsive, and what they do to both history and people is unforgivable.
