Can't say I would recomend that with the current state of the world. However there are some wonderfull incentives right now. Enlistment bounses and they will pay your student loans, so there are some plus sides to it.Hell recently I've even been thinking about active duty military. Sign up for 4 years, serve my country(I have always wanted to), make some dough, learn some new skills, and by the time I'm done the economy won't be in the shitter plus I'll have more skills and veteran's preference. I really have just been brainstorming a lot lately about wtf I'm going to do with my life.
Their second interview is a day long(8 hour) tag along, to see if you fit the company and the company fits you. I called and canceled earlier today. Older dude at work put it in perspective.do it after hours. most places will let you do a 7am early or 6pm late interview.
I wouldn't be going straight every man military. I would enlist to be an Army Ranger. I like everything about it. Equal part brain and brawn(They are the Army Special Forces). The only thing is I would definitely see combat. Rangers only have 3 battalions and they have been in Iraq in some form since the start. The others are spread between 2 bases in GA and one in WA, so even when I wasn't "in it", I would be pretty far from home. But this is something I've always wanted to do and at the moment it's on a back burner. I wouldn't even think about it until after summer.Can't say I would recomend that with the current state of the world. However there are some wonderfull incentives right now.

All Rangers go to Airborne School. You actually go there before you go to Ranger School. After that you either go back to the regular Army "Ranger Certified" or join one of the 3 Ranger Battalions. Still trying to figure out if it's an option or a decision made by a higher up though.My buddy is an Airborne Ranger. Communications specialist I think. Don't talk to him much, and he's already seen a few trips over there in good ol' Sand Land. Last I did converse with him, he didn't really have much to say. It wasn't by his choice, but being away from home and not being able to talk about stuff that goes on kind of narrows conversations down. He did encourage it though. He said it was well worth the physical and mental abuse to do it. He said if he would have not done the Ranger thing, he was thinking of becoming a Sharpshooter/Sniper and seeing if he could get into the CIA or Secret Service when he got out...
