@336, A lot of ego drivers don't compute what a noggin knocking will leave you with.. if it leaves you with anything really. Think those 'football consussion, suicides'. You know, you clog your heart up, break an elbow.. when you start knocking on your brain, the CPU... you don't go to the store and buy another one. That's "you", and that's it... feel that clock ticking?
So what's it worth? Dig deep. What is it worth.,,

Find that promised land, is all I'm saying. We have enough white crosses.
But if you feel like doing it, like it's in your genes.. you get in there son, and you do it well.

Thanks for the thought Amanita. But my reasons are different than you might expect. I'm not really enlisting out of any 'patriotism' or whatever. I mean part of me feels that I have a debt to pay the nation and the military considering they literally kept my family from being homeless and kept us fed and shit for the last ten or so years since my dad essentially scammed them by getting an early military retirement via disability (from falling off a boat in the Coast Guard, and supposedly getting PTSD from it... it's fucking disgraceful, truth is he was a drug addict)
On top of that, my options aren't that great. I'm 22, I'm living with my parents, I've spent the last year being depressed as fuck and doing literally nothing, no school, or work, or friends, or anything. If I don't join the military I'll end up getting some low-income job, going back to school and spending a few years getting a mechanic certificate while working and living with my parents. Then if I'm lucky I'll get a job as a mechanic, then I'll still be living with my parents at like 24+ and trying to save up money to move out; which probably won't happen till I'm 26+; and good luck with me moving back to Hawaii...
Now if I join the military, regardless of what job I get while in, I'll spend the next 4 years saving up most of my money from the service. By the time I'm 26 I'll likely have ~ $20-40K saved up. I'll have a 0% APR loan of up to about $400K, and I'll have 4 years of paid college and housing and living expenses. So after 4 years in college I'll be able to move back to Hawaii, get a degree, get a house, and get a good job.
I mean what else could I ask for?
But hell man, who knows I might get disqualified because of my stupid fucking chest. Who knows.
As for dying... To be honest I don't care about dying. I care about suffering while alive. I care about whether or not I'm going to be living a life that I'm not enjoying. The only thing that really bothers me about joining the infantry, is whether or not I'll be able to keep up. I mean I'm not the most physically fit person out there. I'm not overweight or anything, but I'm not exactly an athlete...
Anyways, thanks again for the thoughts Amanita.

@336, maybe think about trying to get into the medic side of things. If you're good with anatomy (which you're going to want to know either way, if you catch my drift) medications and how they work, math etc. Once you get out you have essentially an open door to work in a hospital. You could ride that right into retirement.
The last time I was in the ICU they made the whole inside of my elbow black from trying to sink a needle, screwed up my left one too, digging. My veins are notorious for "rolling". This lady came in wanting to meet me and pulled out a clean needle and hit the front of my shoulder, bled like a stuck pig, in one go. I came to find out she had served as a medic. She knew her shit, you know. Crunch time, trained. If I couldn't go air force, (which I couldn't because my eyes arent 20/20) I'd probably do that medic thing. It looks real good on a resume. There's a boatload of angles you could play this hand. Keep me posted on which road you take. 
...Too get back on track, I'm watching RED.

Nah I'm not the medical one. Plus the Marines don't have medical; you gotta go Navy or Army for that. I'm either going to go Infantry or Motor Transport; depending on if I qualify for the infantry or not.
Back on topic, I've been on a NigaHiga binge for the past 48 hours.
