I tell every kid that asks me about joining the military, NO. Not unless you only go in for 3 year, learn a skill you can sell to an employer on the outside, AND GET THE HECK OUT!!! I tell them they lied to me for 20 years and have screwed us for over 20 years now. If they lied to me, they will lie to you. Don’t believe them. They are the government!!! Born to lie. Built to lie. Let others die because of their lies. NO. Don’t do it. Find a real job.
