You'll find that the Army is a good place. Boot camp will suck, sure, but the sense of accomplishment of finishing something hard and difficult will make you proud of what you've done and a better person to boot. You'll be around like-minded individuals (or, in your case, you'll BECOME a like-minded individual xD) and that pays off. If you aren't going career, the most important thing, above all else, is to make sure you USE the benefits it gives you. Shop on-base for one, things are waaay cheaper there, which will help your family out. Use the billion and half options available to you to get college education while you're in, don't do stupid shit, and give it your all. Really, don't think of this as some desperate, last ditch effort to make a decent life. Think of it as an opportunity to better yourself, help your family, make lifelong friends, and bank a decent amount of money. You won't get rich in the Army, but if you live on-base, bank your pay, and don't waste it all on women and drinks every payday, you'll come out alright. Military is a very viable career nowadays, contrary to what a lot of people tend to think...if you go career, put in your twenty years, you retire with amazing benefits and pay, veteran benefits for children, etc. Not to mention twenty years in the service opens a ton of doors in the private sector for security jobs and a host of other things. | ||

Why not the air force, coast guard, navy, or national guard? I am going in service too, because it is also like my only good option. But I chose air force because I think it will have best career opportunities for me, and in air force I won't have to do any fighting - I don't want to be too involved in causing deaths. | ||
