Wow, thanks for all the responses!
You guys really put things in perspective. Even though I seem a bit young to be worrying about these things, joining the military is a pretty big decision. But I guess I should follow my dreams and try to do what I’ve always wanted to do (i.e. become an officer).

bulletandpima, I certainly know what you mean by “write or die” for college professors. I come from a family of professors where this is a harsh reality that creates a lot of stress for everyone.

But could anyone explain this…I didn’t understand what you meant bulletandpima.
“They are highly sought after by the Beltway bandits, but to get to that point you need to do the 20, part of the demand is leadership and the puzzle palace experience.”

Thanks everyone
