A-men.
I was in Air Force basic training, I made it through all six weeks, and then got medical discharged during technical school because they thought I had asthma (which turned out to be a respiratory tract infection). I went through all the bullshit, lightweight mind games, and got none of the payoff. I miss it like nothing else in the world, it was a great experience.
Also, Chojin... don't believe every load of shit some flake-o tells you. I watched tons of people flake out and find ways out of their military enlistment while I was in basic training. A couple kids purposefully broke limbs. One purposefully got caught masturbating with a picture of our TI in his hands. One even "attempted" to kill himself in the bathroom with a razor blade (remember kids, it's up the street, NOT across the road). These people are just scared little kids. Knee surgery and "bi-polar" my ass. All of the people who pulled that crap, were the ones who just decided that they couldn't handle the "pressure" in basic. They just wanted to go home to mommy and daddy, where they don't have to work for anything, and they never experience anything in life.
Guitar Woman- The choice is yours, I really think that any advice you get at this point (including mine), should be taken very lightly. Go talk to ALL of the recruiters, DONT sign ANY papers, Don't go to the "MEPS". Just gather info on everything you can. Once you do that, you decide what is best for you. Once you have some ideas on a couple of the branches, that is the time for advice.
