Yes there is a ton of BS. Yes it is hot and there are creepy animals. Yes it's dangerous. But I wouldn't do anything different if I had to do it all over again. You'll make some of the best friends you'll ever have, you'll be with them through thick and thin, you'll have a sense of accomplishment that I feel is unmatched by anything else, and you'll know that you have made a difference in this world, and that you have done what most people will never be able to say they have. You get to visit beautiful places and do things that no other people your age would be able to experience, like flying in a chopper with the doors off, feet hanging out the sides, and blowing shit up with some badass weapons, legally. And if you plan things right, your time in the military will have paved you a great path for a successful future.

It's tough, no doubt about it. But I think being in the military is a great thing and that everyone could benefit from being in it. All the BS you go through, all the times you sit there and wonder "Why the hell didn't I just go to college", in the end it'll be worth it!
