For the past year and so I’ve been thinking about attempting to join the US army. I think it’d be an awesome thing to do and I’d see and learn so much, it’d just be cool.
As many of you can see from my previous posts, I’ve been VERY bored. I’m not a psycho really, I just have nothing to do so I act goofy and weird and get depressed (not really) over stupid stuff. So having something major to do would help me out a lot, such as joining the army.
I would need to do a few things before I’d be accepted into the army. I’d have to fix up my schooling, maybe get a real GED or diploma, I don’t know about either, and then I’d need to work out and get back in shape, and what sucks the most is that I would have to shave my head! ah! I’ve been growing my hair out long for over a year now. But I don’t mind.
I’d probably be sent to Iraq really, and I don’t have a problem with that. I do have a problem with the heat, but that’s about it. I think it’d be a great experience.
I would have to deal with my mom though getting all weird about it. She doesn’t believe in the war in Iraq (as in the reasoning for even being there) and she keeps saying that if anyone signed up now they’d be shipped there. Which is true. And I know she’d cry and get so upset if I joined, but I’m 23 years old and I need to do something finally and get a career in something. I can still do music also. Elvis was in the military! hah.
I just think that if I don’t join while I’m young, I’ll probably regret it for the rest of my life. it’s really thing that its’ something that everyone should do for their country. at least a few years. one at the least. Nothing bad in that.
I am a bit scared. When it comes to the contract signing. After you sign that the amount of time you enlisted for is there. You can’t change your mind afterwards.
Anyway’s it’s just a thought right now and something I’ve been wanting to do. I am looking into all the options and reading up on a lot of info.
I’ll write again later
