Ugh I figured i'd already have assholes telling me off for my decision for joining the Army.. Not here though but elsewhere.
It's always a youngin. You know the kind that live off the lap of luxery in their parents homes, not having to worry about a damn thing until the current economy's lack of jobs bites them in the ass. I can't tell you at MEPS how many returning soldiers are coming back in. Whenever I go it's almost always swamped.
See i'm going in because the Army has the job I've been trying to search for out here. Failure everywhere else. When I job search the people either want somebody with years of experience or somebody with at least a bachelor's degree. Once I did get an interview but haha they didn't bother to call me back. See i'm have an associates degree. That's all I could afford. I can't afford going to a university. Thanks to the Army I can continue my education while i'm in there..
I'm 21 and yes I've never had a job. I've tried searching for some to do during my full-time as a college student at the community college. Never had any luck. I'm sorry but i'm not working at mcdonalds for 7 dollars an hour or whatever when I can have the job I always wanted and have my ass covered.
When you have no where else to go we'll see what decision you'll make haha. The army was one path for me
I remember when I told people at the college I was going in. Some told me "but you'll waste your talent!" lol how? I'm going in literally as a Graphic Designer just about. Actually I will have an even better chance to improve myself. Along that i'm going to get a tablet computer to help improve my digital skills. Plus i'll have plenty of time on the sideline to draw. People seem to act if you go in the military you're gonna get shot and not have a chance to "live" anymore. lol. eeh noo. My brother is a good example I tell you that.
So yeah I don't care if you arent' pro-military or whatever. Your choice. But don't look down on somebody who has no where else to turn for a decent chance at a good job and a roof over their head.
Some guy at college even told me "Hhaha wow really? ewww hahah i'd rather sleep under a bridge!"
yeah go sleep under that bridge. Be happy for those who served and died GAVE you that right to sleep under that bridge. Good luck to ya.
Thanks for those in support of me.
