      Hi prohero22 , What is your work schedule like? Do you work weekends? Does your schedule change a lot? Do you have 1 day off and then another day off in the week ? Thanks for you answer

There are downsides and bad days but overall the experiences I’ve had are amazing and I don’t regret it. I feel like I’ve done and seen more things than most the people I went to high school with.

    Everything you said is why I want to join the military. I'm trying the AF first and coastguard is my second option due to how AF goes. I'm waiting on my Asvab study material to come in next week so I can give that a huge swing and get that knocked out.

    Im just waiting on MEPS to get back to my recruiter in the next few days. I don't know to go in as a non-rate or go in as a BM. I wanted to be an ME but thats closed. So BM is my next job which i think is interesting. But im not to sure if i should go in to a job right away. If i should be on a cutter or land unit. There are so many different things im not to sure about 😂. Any tips? Im not trying to do painting and cleaning the cutters 😂 haha

    Hey Julian I am currently finalizing everything at MEPS and will be headed to boot camp in January or February (I haven't selected a date) but I did have a queston for you. You see me and my wife bought a house in March of this year here in oregon but we are more than likely going to have to sell it but we are worried about capital gains giving us financial struggles due to having to sell it before our 2 year period is up. So I was wondering if you had any input on this.
