and cons of joining the military? I'm 19, Married, and I scored a 90 on my Asvap test, so i can basically get into any military career.
 
Pros

Build a good work ethic
Understand responsibility and what it means to be a man, and have honor
Experience true adversity for the first time in your life
Start a college education, or get money for one
Support your family if you have one
Make friends for a lifetime

Cons

Might die (if you're combat arms, otherwise don't worry)
Might lose life-long friends
Find out you suck at the army, go AWOL and become felon
You're marriage might fall apart if you two aren't 110% committed.

Pretty simple really. I used to think the army and marine commercials about "be all that you all can be" were BS, but now I believe it, truly.
 
...you basically can get into any military career.

So, in other words you can be an aviator or you can be a mess cook?

I really think you have to develop allot better focus. When you can do that, give it a shot. It has it's benefits. Working for a company isn't all that good, you can work for a simple-minded uneducated @sshole who will drain your blood and pay you nothing to make himself rich.
