Stunt riding on base? - Jonas - 11-14-2011
Since I got you guys for a minute, did you guys sign 4 or 6, and why? I'm contemplating 6, but I'm worried I wont like it and I'll be stuck. But with 6 years, everything clicks easier, and it just flows. Opinions?

The thing I'm most concerned about is I will get in, and then I do my 4 or 6 or 10, and look back and go did I really enjoy my 20s? I mean I know the military is legit, and probably the best thing I can do for myself, and it's kinda shallow to put joy over my future, but do you guys honestly enjoy what you do, and still have time to be your own person in the military?

The saying is the Army and Marines is a way of life and AF is a job. AF likes to take care of fam and their people. You will have plenty of time to still party and enjoy your "20's".. not shallow at all your just a young adult. I'm not your recruiter but I do love the service. To each his own. Take it one day at a time. Quit looking too much into it. Take one step at a time. Your first five meter objective is get in, next you MOS and etc etc.... ill help you with what I can
