I belong to an organization that has a lot of veterans and I can certainly tell you this much: Whether they served only four years or made it a career, they all loved what they did. One guy was a Marine for only four years, but, at 71 years old, still has his heart in the Marines.
My dad is 79 years old and STILL loves talking about his Army days back in the 50's. And he was drafted, didn't even enlist, but if not for my mother's insistance otherwise, he would have stayed. There is not one person I know that did a military service stint and regretted it.
If you aren't sure, don't enlist too quickly. You have to know it's for you.
