[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16387366, member: 70025"] Both my grandfathers were mechanics in the Air Force. My dad was in the Army for 20 years. Then I served in the Army for 22 years. Retired in 2007. I ended up getting divorced after 10 years of service and then got remarried. Both of my step kids joined ROTC in high school and decided for themselves that the military was not for them. I recruited for the Army in a Non-military town (meaning there was no base there and the population grew up with no direct link to the military). What I learned is people join the military for 3 main reasons: 1) They have some form of familial ties to the military and sign up kind of like going in to the family business (kind of like most who posted here including me). 2) They have some fascination with the military and grew up with a desire to serve (i.e. seen a movie or heard or story or read a book, etc.). kind of like CobraBob's post. 3) They feel they have no where else to turn (college didn't pan out; desired career path didn't pan out (i.e. they failed to get accepted to the police academy or something) or they got into trouble with the law or a gang situation). So, they join the military because their other choices or ideas didn't work out. [/QUOTE]
