Okay, I just want some direction in my life. I feel like i'm going no where. This is why I think it would be a good decision.

My love for the sea, when i was younger we travelled to Florida all the time, and i just love the smell, sound, and plain sight of it. I've always been a good swimmer and can hold my breath for about a minute, which probably doesn't matter but water is like second nature.

When I first bought Sh2 i didn't know the difference betweeen a bow plane and a depth charge. I have to admit, i was never really that interested in submarines or the naval warfare part of things. But the wolfpack league, and subsim really informed me on a lot and that's where i learned and became hooked on it. They also taught me some stuff like programming, like the .sdf files that SH2 came with for mission scripting. That led me to develop my own game.
/\ So what i guess i'm trying to say here, is that i've really grown a respect for such technological advanced things. And I'm quick to adapt and learn how to use and operate such equipment.

It is for myself. I'm not joining to live up to a family tradition, to prove something, or show-off. I want to do this, I want to serve my country, and when I'm dead and my family comes to see my grave, I want the American flag flying next to my grave, showing I served my country the best I can.

And, as I mentioned in my previous post, I want direction in life. Maybe I can learn a new skill, or expand my knowledge in one I already had. So that after I retire or get released, I can easily get a job with my experience in the field.

Nothing is final, i'm going to pray about it, talk to friends and family, and last, the recruiter to see what options are available for me, and see where things go.
