I've said it before and I'll say it again. As much as I will miss you so very badly, I think I would actually be sadder if you stayed here doing nothing. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, as I'm sure you are aware.
I've already had to witness some of the greatest I've known go dormant. It seems a waste and a shame because there is so much potential and it's not going anywhere... and I can feel my IQ dropping by the day, I'm no better than anyone else here and I know I am destoying myself too, and I love it and I hate it. No-one is else I spend my days with can tell much, they think I am a good person. Hah. No.
The army will be good for you. If you are committed, you will go places. You get useful skills, and you get paid to obtain them. They'll keep you fit and healthy and learning new things. I'm quite jealous that you will get to use guns... I have a little bit of a fascination with them.
I know most people keep thinking you can't do it. But I think if you want it enough you can. It'll make or break you, pretty much. But I support your decision, and I hope you make it. I think you will make it. After all, you're pretty tough for a computer geek.
The army did good things for my uncle, and he did the 22 week initiation one in winter too, and he was a pasty beanpole with glasses and asthma. He has a wicked time with his life now and one day I want to have adventures like that. I did my own special training course on taking risks, hah.
Next time I see you I might take some photos, because you always take ones of me looking crap and I just realised I have no photos of you. I found some colouring pencils too. Not mine, but they'll do.
Go forth and make something of yourself. That's showing them all as much as destroying yourself is, and more, because it is harder to do.
