Re: Opinions needed on enlisting after college
I am an officer in the Navy, but I have seen several people in a similar situation as yours and they have regreted their decision. Here are my thoughts. I highly recomend you PM me to discuss this further.
1. There is a lot of romance associated with highly trained and bad ass groups like the rangers, but when you get down to it there is also a ton of work and crappy assignments. I'm not trying to put down these groups in any way (I would never mess with them), I am just saying that it is not a romantic as you think it is right now.
2. Based on your education you are obviously a smart guy. When you enlist you will be treated like an irresponsible dumb ass a lot of the time. Worse you will be surrounded by some people who really are irresponsible dumb asses.
3. There are a lot of ways to serve the country where your skill set will be better utilized. In the long run, this will be better for you and for the US.
