i'm a retired disabled vet, don't join!!! this is not the time and it sounds like a desperation move. close your eye's, think about what you see on the news, breath in and out a few times. open your eye's. it fukin sux over there. are you really ready to die for what's going on over there? if you feel you must, then at least join the air force. that's what i did. in the rear, with the gear! you're still in harms way, but you get better vittles.
