I was wanting to see if I can get some words of encouragement from either current active duty soldiers or even some veterans. I'm 17 and I felt I was obligated to serve my country because this country has done nothing but great things for me. So I thought I would return the favor. I plan to be in active duty for at least 4 years and use my GI bill while in the service and use it when I get out so that I could be able to reach U.S History for HighSchool. And people. Let's not talk crap about the different branches. Act civil. Please.
