So Chad have you taken up the offer to chat to USLC??
Venatore madethe same offer to me when i was in the midst of enlistment. Never got round to speaking directly to him, but the PMs and a couple of the links he provided were instrumental in me finally signing on the dotted line. I still owe him for the help he gave me, hope i can pay it back one day.
As far as career choice etc, look at it this way. If deep down you want it, and if you dont feel like you'll regret it, go for it. I had to enlist as a reservist for now because im planning a wedding myself and that'd be a bit tough to do from Timor, but I know I'll not regret that. I chose Army over airforce and navy because I knew i couldnt do the time away from home.
As far as women go, my high school sweetheart cheated on me with 3 of my mates, and then a few other blokes. I caught her out, and that was that. It wasn't pleasant, but i eventually got around to realising that I wasnt the problem, it was her, and i was better off. took a while, but i got there. Stayed single for a while, then like Kapitan said, out of the blue, like a bus (or a train in sydney!) one turned up (a friend of mine for several years) and now we're engaged. In that time between, i didn't really look for anyone, no flings or anything like that, io spent the time doing what I wanted to do.
All the best mate
