After some decent consideration and then a flurry of activity to get my 34 year old @ss signed up before my birthday next month. I maxed out the ASVAB, and am now signed up to go in as an officer cantidate. I ship off to training the beginning of may.

My work is supportive as is all my friends and family...even my kids.

Why? you might ask... The simple answer is that I've always wanted to but life has always taken me in different directions. Now I get to serve my country, be an officer and get some extra $$ and other benifits. I'm really excited.

The older you get, the harder it is to follow your dreams.  I couldn't imagine being a father and making that choice at 34.

Your kids have a father they can really be proud of.

Good luck.

TOK:
If you're not super fit, start running, riding a bike and doing situps and stuff. Bootcamp is even tougher as you get older. Do you know where you're going through and do you know what AIT you're doing after boot?

Thanks for serving your country!  :cheers:
