[QUOTE="Regulars520, post: 15192915, member: 145759"] I look at alot of responses here but a lot of these are not exactly what they seem. They all sound cool and like great careers in print but there is more to it that you are not seeing. Military service is not a defined path, there is no im going to be etc... SF, Rangers,Seals, and these sweet sounding entry contracts all sound great and gun ho. However nobody has explained to you odds and circumstances. Alot of people telling you these things have not gone down the path they are suggesting. Circumstances: SF Rangers Seals etc contracts are not a guarantee. There is alot left to chance, and I mean alot. 1. You find during selection that you just cant physically keep up 2. You get hurt, twisted knee, blown acl, broken bone, etc... 3. You make it however you do not get selected So now what happens? This: You become a "surplus soldier" You now go to needs of the army, navy, etc... What does this mean? This means they will place you in whatever MOS they want, you dont get to choose now, they do. If you want to be SF, Ranger, Seal etc then you do not come in on a sf contract etc... You choose a job that you want to do other than these. SF seal etc is not an mos it is a specialty skill, I.E its not a job. Now you go through all of your MOS that you chose schooling, etc... Then you go to SF selection, ranger batt, buds, etc... New circumstances 1. Cant physically do it 2. Get hurt 3. Dont get selected What happens to me now? I go back to the MOS that I chose and finish out doing what I want to do. You seem to be book smart so your ASVAB score probably will open a wide variety of doors for you. Choose something outside of all the gun ho stuff FIRST. Control your career with logic. Listening to guys on a forum is probably not your best route for a life changing event. I am not trying to deter you from trying or doing it. However nobody here is giving you logical advise. You can very easily set your new career up for failure if you do not do this right. I have seen so many people not make it and they were on contracts and have become miserable because now they are stranded in an MOS they do not want to be in. You cannot just re-class from one MOS to another, its not that easy. Heavily think this thru before you make any choices. [/QUOTE]
