Joining the Military?

I mean it, I hope good things happen for you, but a few years ago you wanted a guy to make tons of money and take care of you, now you won't accept anyone who is not/has not ever been in the military. those two things rarely mix, people in the m ilitary don't make that much, how is he going to pamper you the way spoiled California girls are pampered, plus do you understand theat they go risk their lives...you will only accept a guy who goes and may never come home while you sit there and bake cakes now?

honestly, maybe someday you will find out who you are, but you have always been a walking contradiction

 

I never said I wanted a rich guy to take care of me...and the gys I have datd h were well off all served.

I am very happy right now. My fiancee is in the military and I have suggested the idea of him getting out after he alluding tht that's wh he wants, which I hope he does next year. He also doesn't have to go to the gulf.
Would I love him the same if he never went in? Maybe not because he would not be the same person he is now. He' a very stand u guy who has taught me so mch about life and how to be a better person and be stronger and more grounded when I need to be. I don't think he could teach me those things if he was the same as he describes himself before he wnt in. I have to respect who I am with.
And he does spoil the crap outta me. But, if he didn't I would love him the same.
Also, it's my choice to be engaged and living here. I am not working because I just passed my last class for my BA (finally!) and have had a pretty good career for a 25-year-old. So I am lucky enough to be able to wait to work until I get something that suits my qualifications. I am alos lucky enough to have a fiancee who wants me to have a good career before we have kids and not just take a mindless job now to occupy my time and leave me with energy to still do every freaking thing around the house like a lot of his friends have their wives do.
Don't mistake vunerability and being humble towards my partner as not knowing what I want, because I have everything I want.

 

oh and thanks for remindingme. I need to put this cake in the freezer so i don't eat another piece!

 

Visit a VA hospital and an active duty Military hospital first. Notice the missing parts of people. Decide if you want control of your body in the hands of someone you do not know.

Of all the services the Air Force is the best. But you will go to IRAQ no matter which service you enter. Go regular military instead of Reserves. The reservists get to get maimed just like the RA but they do not get the medical care.

DO NOT JOIN IF YOU CAN FIND ANY OTHER WAY.
Look into Apprentiship programs. The starting pay is as high as 29 per hour plus 11 per hour in benefits for some trades.

Earning 60 K a year and having your freedom is a good way to start life! Life with all your arms and legs and eyes is a good way to live.
