The Chair Force
After listening to Robert, Michel, even Ali go on and on about military...well I've been thinking too.
Would it really be that bad? Free health care, a steady paycheck, barly any chance of losing my job, promotions, and AND I would get trianing in the field that I want to go in to. Hands on training. Put in the fact that service looks good on any resume and well....its tempting.
I have an ROTC at my school, if I enroll in that I could be an officer by the end of my school. ANd they'll pay for it. And possibly my masters.
I talked to Michel today about it today and he told me alot of things to keep in mind. He agreed with me in that the Air Force would be the best thing to go into. I am not a solider. I can do Intelligence, but as for hiking miles with 60 pounds? Heh, no way.
He and Sim also said to check out the reserves, because I don't want to move. Not now.
But, I could do the reserves, do ROTC, and then maybe enlist in active duty. I could finally go to Europe. And quite possibly by this time I'll be married and I could take Steven with me. Because they'lll pay if we're married.
These jobs I have now are dead end. My childhood friends are all gone my sister's getting married, and well, the list thats holding me to this place is very short. I don't want active service now, but within a year or two...maybe.
Basics a bitch or so I've heard, but I can do it. I know I can.
I don't know. It all sounds too good to be true. Four years in this could get me the career I want, plus pay me extra so I don't have to work so damn hard. I would be doing something worth while.
I'm going have to think about this. And call my dad. Becuasehe swore none of his little girls would join the military.
I thinks thats going to be the hardest part. >.
