Comment: I spent 5 years and I learned how to get drunk really well.

Take your time and pay down your debts, use the skills and knowledge you already have. The military is the easy way out, but it won't do much for your future if going to college didn't. I wouldn't sacrifice my freedom for anything. I would not support a war machine because it would make my life easier. You have everything you need to make it in civilian life. Start using your smarts, and don't be too fearful of the future, it has a way of working out. Besides the pay sucks.
