MEPS in the morning

I have mixed emotions about joining the military. My brother recently enlisted in the Air Force and put the big in my ear that I should join. I feel like I let this idea infect my mind.

I recently got my degree, turned down and job at good company, was working a decent bartending gig, and was waiting for my girlfriend to graduate so we could get jobs in the same city and move on with our lives, but everything changed once my brother tried to convince me to join.

Since then I called back the company I initially turned down, moved half way across the country, broke up with my girlfriend, and haven’t been happy since. I needed to leave the bar, I wasn’t happy there and wasn’t seeing any personal growth. Now I’m unhappy and realized what I left behind.

I contacted a recruiter and though I should at least see if I can get accepted into OCS for supply corp officer. I’m at meps now and not sure if this is really what I want to do. I might stay with the same company, potentially moving all across North America, go back home and live with my best friend on the farm, or commission to the US Navy.

At least I have until March to know if I’m willing to commit to the Navy.
