  • I could really use some advice on what job to do in the military from people in it themselves can you plz help?

    I'm a 22 year old dude and I really need some unbiased advice from people in the military who aren't recruiters trying to lure me into their branch to make their quota. Please read everything and help me out as I really need some help

    I currently work a shitty job barely making enough to support myself. And I'm really confused on what I want to do with my life. I took electrical in high school and loved it. I would love to do that as I love to work with my hands and for me just putting together a circuit and seeing it work makes me happy. As you may or may not know to be an electrician you have to start as an apprentice, the only problem is EVERY person I talk to wants a guy with experience and I'm fed up with trying. So I was thinking "hey maybe I should join some branch to get training" but Ever since I was a little kid I would play army men and pretend to shoot guns and kill the bad guys. I've always wanted to be a hero that everyone looked up to. And I feel like personally the only way I would feel like a hero is by being on the ground protecting this country with my own two hands and feet. Which leads to my confusion. People always told me when I was 18 to think about life after you get out because they don't care about you when you get out. I was dumb and 18 and didn't want to hear it. Now its 4 years later and After all these years I'm starting to think i should do a job that gets me one when I get out. But in the back of my mind I can't shake the feeling of wanting to protect my country with my own two hands and feet. But I know even afte a full 20 something year career in the military I'd still only be 40 and need a job when I get out. I know if I went in as a grunt it would be harder to change jobs to electrician but I also know I could love being a grunt I don't know what to do please help

    Do I join the military as an electrician or as a grunt . I don't want to be 60 thinking to myself I made a mistake

  • how to decide what branch to join or do i need advice?

    im really confused on what to do with my life...and i need help i think i may want to join the military anything besides the navy and coast guard but im torn on what to do people are telling me to think of a career after i get out and i agree with them and i think i should do that but im just so interested by digging fox holes and just anything and everything to do about infantry or cav scout, maybe its because i want the most respect and have people be proud of me in no matter what i do....which somewhat leads to my next question what branch should i join im intrigued by the marines every thing about them is bad *** and awesome from their uniforms to the way they act to their training but im afraid i wouldn't be able to complete basic training, so i look at the army and that seems to easy.....what should i do i enjoy working with my hands and i definitely don't mind getting dirty and working hard but like i said i know that doesn't translate to a career after i get out(if i want to)
