Think long and hard about what you really want to do in life. Weigh the pros and cons (yes even the cons) and if you have more pros, then that’s your answer. If you’re just out of HS and can’t deal with being far from family, I’d wait awhile because the Military doesn’t want homesickers. Basic is just to weed out the weak ones and leave the strong. Also it’s a mind-game, all of it.
I was in during spring of 2004, but was medically discharged on a pre-existing condition. Fun! There’s probably no chance of me getting back in, but I hope to help others with their decision.
I’ll gladly answer any questions you may have about Basic. I’d be happy to help.
