AND it's item number three.

I would have written an essay if I knew people were gonna bite my head off. A couple days ago, this Master Sergeant asked me if I was worried about the draft. He told me "I bet you'd be out with all your college buddies protesting, huh?" I responsed "I'm not going to run. My head's already shaved, I'm ready to go." He called me a "true patriot." I'm not going to ramble about my undying love for my country, but I can assure you it's there. I realize I may go to Iraq, and I'm ok with that. I don't really agree with the reasons that got us there, but I'd give it my all regardless. I could very well die, but I take that risk driving 80mph to work every day.

"because there's nothing else" is a piss-poor reason to do anything

I never said there was nothing else. I work for AT&T Government Solutions, there's lots of potential . . . in the IT field, but like I said, I want to change careers.
I work for the Army. I work directly with soldiers every day, and I've seen what being in the military is all about. This has made me want to join.
I'm looking for a career change. The military is a career option, just like becoming a chef or a lingerie model are options.
I sincerely appreciate all your comments (even yours analog). I am currently looking at options both in the military and otherwise, and I still have lots of time to give it some serious thought.
