I guess I'm kinda in the same boat here - going through my senior year of HS and looking to join the military. At the moment I'm thinking Marines (yeah I know
), even though everyone I know says Navy (most vets I know are Navy
) officer is the way to go, it'll be better and easier for you in the long run, or information/computers cuz it'll be safer etc etc etc.
But honestly, I have no desire at all to be an officer, and I'm not going to join the armed forces to be comfortable and safe. I really have no problem with seeing myself as a grunt mixing it up in the mud.
