Stay Enlisted or go Officer?

[jaer57]

I agree HawkGuy.
However this is something that I was not thinking about when I was 18 years old, as I'm sure many aren't either. I really didn't want to go to college. But now 13 years later, I'm about to finish my degree finally, and more doors are opening up.

I agree as well! My 30-something mind thinks completely differently from how my 17 year-old mind did. Although everything has worked out well for me in the long run, I think if I could do it again I would at least try to get into Annapolis or West Point...
