join the army

At first I was just gonna go to med school and become a plastic surgeon. Then, I wanted to become a general surgeon for the Army. But NOW, I want to try and and join the Army.

I’ll probably stop by at the recruiting station in h-town to see what’s up. I’m not telling my parents, or anyone else yet. Only my best friend knows, that’s pretty much it. I’m reeaaally don’t want to tell my boyfriend though, he’s gonna get upset :(

it might seem crazy to most but but i haven’t accomplished much thus far, is feels like i’m compelled to do

I have never been intrested in the army, I have always thought of it as a mans thing. But once i came accross the army website, i took a look, and thought it would be a great challenge for me.
I have no self confidence to join but i am willing to build it up and join. I have not yet sent of my application as i would like some advie on what to do, and how it all works. The phone calls from them and the whole thing of getting in. My worst is interviews and the 1st day, where to go what to do and say. Im 17 and to be honest im really excited about hearing back from others and joining, i want to be able to be independant as i am living with my parents still, and to achive goals and reach targets. The thought of the army is that if i do join and i get accepted, i would be able to experiane new and diffrent things around diffrent people, and put my self to the challenge as i have never done anything like this before.
I like what you have all said which helps me learn more, but i would also like to know about the small things, the accomodation, the pay, the challenges, and about the recruiter, I have no i deal where to find one of them. so any thing you can help me out with. ill be more than happy with.
Thanks

The process in our country takes time. I’ve cleared the written examinations, will face the SSB next. SSB is the selection board that conducts psychological, physical and mental tests+interviews. After the SSB will be the medical and the verification. I have to make it through.

I’ve always wanted to enlist. Most of the men in my family are either currently in the army, retired out or they gave their lives in battle. Im really thinking this may be the year I do it. Im just trying to wrap my brain around leaving my family, my job, my friends, and my dancing behind for a period of time.

I don’t really know what I want to do as a career but I do know I want to have a job that is exciting and I like going to everyday. My life could use a little discipline and some order.

I’ve been ready and willing for more than 3 months now, but i’m STILL waiting to take my physical. The MEPS station screwed up my paperwork for med-read, so i’m waiting on my recruiter to send them a letter or two.
All because i broke my tooth when i was in 2nd grade.
