Bubba, what everyone is saying is just make sure that it is what you want, be 100% sure before you enlist. The money is one thing but the question you have to ask yourself is if your prepared to do what the military is asking, which would be going through boot camp, leaving a lot of what you had behind, and risking your life should you be put in a combat area. I have enlisted in the Marine Corp and am shipping out August 18th and I am so ready for it. I got the job i wanted which was Command and Control/Electrician which comes wiht a $10,000 signing bonus. But on the other side, there is another kid who was in my graduating class who was very Gung ho about going but now wishes he hadn't enlisted because he is getting screwed for a job that was "promised" before MEPS and now has to wait till October for the new jobs to come out just so he can get what he wants, even though he was scheduled to leave July 28th. I honestly think I rushed the decision by joining and at the beginning of me being in the Delayed Entry Program, I was worried I had made a mistake, but after ALOT of thinking and finding more out about the program, I found that the choice I made was one that would make me happy. Just make sure you want to do this cause you need to be very ready for it. Good luck with whatever decision you make.
