For all of my burn marks, I would not have changed a thing.
There is nothing I can say to you so you can avoid problems. Live your life, ensure you are happy, take comfort in others, look on the bright side.
With military service comes a larger set of privledges and responsibilities. Are you ready to be a member of a team? Do you agree with the value system and ethics that come with this lifestyle? I would ask your recruiter to summize
in their own words the military ethos and the values and beliefs of the Navy. You would be suprised that it is no longer a job, but a Duty, a Code. The people that are unsuccessful in their military career usually adhere to a different set of values.
There is nothing wrong with those different values; I argue that those differences make us unique and interesting. When choosing the military path, you will find comfort and joy if your values match. If you differ, the road will be rocky and painful.
