I was going to join the airforce ROTC in 2001, but my mother threw an intense fit over the matter, vowing to disown me if I decided to I'll always be a bit sad that I didn't go that route, but I'm finding my own path through life, finding ways to serve humanity through advancements in scientific discovery.

You have the option to join the military -go for it. Why anyone would choose infantry is beyond me, but if that's what you find most interesting, go for it. Before you choose, though, check out all of the options available to you in a military career. Opt for the one that will best match your future goals. You can learn many useful skills in the military that will translate well to civilian life.

As for this:
It really depends on the translation.
