Yesterday I sat down with a navy representative who talked to me about a scholarship available for students interested in joining the Navy. its funny when I think about it. All my life I NEVER imagined myself to be the type of person to end up joinging the military in any way. I never thought of myself as a military fighter or that they would have any other job for me what so ever. However since about mid summer after talking with my papa, (a retired Aire Force Reserve member) I have been contimplaiting it. I don't have any other ideas about what I might like to do with my life. Other than music, I have no great passions that could lead into a successful, steady career, which is what I really want.
Up until now I assumed I wanted to do Air Force after high school, but talking to him made me stop to think about it more. I understand that each branch of the military thinks that they are superior in some way to the others, so when he compared the navy with the air force he made the Navy sound better because that is his job, but he did a good job of it. I could go to college learning about the navy and the job I will do for them, and then college and be garunteed a job, and have a chance to travel the world for a few years before settling down in the reserve. Today I am taking a practice test afterschool at the local recruitment center. Any recuriter for any branch of military I speak to will ask me about my scores on this test so I hope I do well and learn something from it.
