This is not something that “happened to you.” It’s a direct result of the choices you made. I think that the first step in putting things together is that realization.

OK, as to what to do next: what path do you WANT to take? Where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years? What would you like to be doing with your life?

The criminal charges were dismissed, so there’s really nothing holding you back. Stop and think of the path you want. Don’t jump at the military simply because it’s the right option-- once you commit it’s pretty hard to change your mind.

Take a deep breath, maybe hold off on any decisions until after the holidays-- it’s too hectic right now to come to any concrete solutions. But explore your options with a calm, anger free head.

Good luck.
