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.

I signed up the day I turned 18. Got the GI bill, extended a year to go to Sicily. Had a blast, just wasn't for me. Got tired of having to listen to people that generally sucked at life because of there rank and time in service. Enjoy your trip! P.s. Do everything you can to make rank before heading off to boot camp. You can get promoted all the way to E-4 if you brown nose enough. Seriously worth it in the long run.
