so the navy is becoming a very real possibility

yea so my fucking color and design teacher gave me a D. First off I deserve a fuckin way higher grade than that. I did well all semester and even did extra credit. Then she e-mails me and sais.. "I usually fail students who failed to complete every assignment". She gave me a fucking D because I missed one assignment.
Well im bring it up with the school and if she doesnt change it to at least a C then im going to go to the Navy.
I am thinking of going into an art/photography career. This would make sense since im a graphic design major.
Im really nervous. I was planning on going to the navy after college anyway, but it just seems so wrong. Im 20. I should be partying, hanging out with college women, growing my hair, moshing at concerts, making music and just being me... I can let some of it go, but it would be hard.
also I had a question. Can I enlist for four years, then chillout for a year or less, then enlist again?

Ask a recruiter. Be careful as they tend to lie (no shit).
When you go into any branch of the military you are beholden to them for seven years. They will say shit like, "You only have to be on active duty for 2 years. Blah Blah Blah" You may end up being on active duty for only two years...but they can have you be on active for all seven years if they want to. But, they are doing this more for Army and Marines than Navy and Air Force people. I've heard that the Navy is actually trying to shed people at the moment.
Also, will you be able to handle being at sea and away from family and friends for six months at a time?

You might consider graduating and becoming an officer. You will have more responsibility, but it's worth it considering that you have a position of respect and you get paid alot more. Considering that you're planning on being in the service for so long, I think it would be worth the time.
It's just 1 class, bro. You can retake it if I'm not mistaken.

yeah i was literally a signature away from joining the army.. the best thing to do.. IMO is sit down.. outline what u want in life.. and then see if giving up ur freedoms (ull be property of the navy) is worth those goals and wants
to me.. joining the army wasnt worth giving them the next 4 years of my life.. it took me a long time to realize that.. its a very very difficult choice.. ull soon find the answer

I was thinking about joining the Navy or maybe the Air Force. I probably won't do it because my parents are really against the idea but it still holds a lot of appeal for me. Everyone who thinks the armed forces are gay should go live in East Timor for a while.

i havent ruled it out for some point later on.. and its always a plan B for me.. but im too young right now, i have a little living to do before i sign up

I don't think the armed forces are gay at all, just the navy. I think every other branch of the military, including the coast guard serve more purpose than the navy.
