I’m a Veteran, and I tell everyone to stay away.
Maybe serve in some non combat, mostly White AFSC in the Air Force...
I told all three of my sons I don’t recommend the military. One came this close to going to Annapolis then changed his mind. I did not pressure them hard just told them my opinion and told them I’d support them if they went in anyway.
My reason: the homosexualizarion of the military. Further, the fact that America has elected some anti American presidents who you can not trust as commander in chief.
