Not the Army. If you are going to enlist, the Air Force is definitely the way to go. They pay the most and are not on the front lines, ever.

I believe that you're not scared of the front lines, but it makes a big difference to your family. In the Army, I believe that you will come out of basic training as an E-3, with a bachelor degree. Why not go for the bigger pay and better benefits, though? I have alot of family in the Air Force and they are set for life! I wish that I would have done it, to tell you the truth.

Looking at the front line from the back line it;s easy to say it doesn't't scare you. Yeah, it doesn;t scare me either. Gore, heart ripping bloody savagery. Rip a man apart with a swiss army knife, shock him to death with dogs eating his flesh. Scare me? FUCK NO. You may never be on the front lines. But from the back line, you fuel the men on the front. You are the beast within, we are the beast because we sin. We kill others because it is where we began, we take the history of others and make it all over again. Just like in brave-heart a man eats a soul, just like the USA eats another and keeps it on the down low

If you have a bachelor's degree you will be commissioned as an officer. You will have to go through officer's training. I'm not sure what the pay scales are.
Officers do pretty well when it comes to pay. Newly enlisted guys don't earn as much.

I'm not exactly sure on the pay, but it is pretty easy to look up. I'll try and find something.

I don't think it's a good idea.
Why not become a drug lord instead?

That is precisely what I've got planned for my future. First, get a bachelor's degree... then go through OTS and become an officer in the air force.
As it is, mortality rates in the air force are fairly low... but for officers life is even safer yet. And the paycheck doesn't seem all that bad, either.
A bachelor's degree is a good idea... it gives you a chance to go in as an officer.

Fuck that.
I already know you have dreams, and the means. I;ve seen it in the poppies blowing in the breeze.
Get some land, make a plan, you need at least ten acres to make a stand.
If the military is how you get there, than a man with means already can only salute and wave goodbye to that land.
Think it out.
edit-ps post a fucking update

Have fun, I have family in the military, my grandpa on my moms side was in the navy, my uncle is in navy also. I choose to be who I am, I might help my friend with his buisness being a landscaper as well as my other weak paying job for now. I would rather have low pay then fight in a senceless war. War is senceless anyway.

But hey, go for the better pay if you do join, I still have to get my GED, to get into anything higher payed. I still plan on that, but I have had too many expences lately, so it made it literally impossible to go back to school.
