I seek to improve my mental fortitude, specifically my ability to plan and follow through on said plans. I like the idea of getting away from my parents, having my housing and food paid for, and exercising regularly. Not to mention getting a masters degree in computer science, paid for by them (my service).

Meh those don't sound like good reasons to me, but who am I to say.  I was going to enlist solely on my lust for foreign blood so I'm not one to take advice from.

I mean a computer engineer sounds so far from what I think of as a soldier, I imagine you would be better off working for a corporation who gets programming contracts from the military as well as the private sector.  When you join the military you are being owned, and that isn't going to mean that all your bad habits go away, it just means that when you fuck up you've really fucked up.

Well i've done some soul-searching and discovered that the root of my bad habits is boredom and a lack of hope in the future. When I made up my mind to pursue this path I have felt insanely better about my future, and when I am enlisted I will not be bored.

It all works out in the end, and my reasons are plenty for me. MOST soldiers (especially air force) don't see action these days, so I think joining specifically to kill people is shortsighted/sick but we can agree to disagree

Hey if I'm going to be killing I want to taste the blood in the air.  I think being able to kill someone and not have it be visceral is the real danger.

Impulsive or following through on something that will benefit me thoroughly?

Impulsive, definitely.

Maybe it will work out for you.  I certainly wouldn't hold it against you.  As much admiration as I have for soldiers I would not want to be one right now.  Getting flown into some country on coach then being beholden to the US Military at every given moment just isn't a job I want.  I mean you don't realize how dumb it is to take a job that you can't easily leave.  You are literally throwing up your hands and selling out, which I can understand, but I think it is a mistake for you.  You have too much going already, and are suffer from stress or depression or something and just want out.

From what I've seen, the military doesn't improve anyone's life, some people use it as a catalyst to improve but as I understand it, its the amount of effort they put in which makes that happen. That effort could be applied to civilian life just as well.

Its something to keep in mind, especially when you're finished with the military, you'll have to fill the void of all that structure and (hopefully) purpose yourself.

Just to be clear, I'm not arguing against joining, only pointing out that a lot of vets work in fastfood, don't stop looking for purpose when you're in or when you're out.

Air Force or Navy is the way to go for sure. You dont want to be part of the Poor Bloody Infantry sucking depleted uranium dust in fucking Baghdad waiting to step on an IED.
