I don’t think I’d join if there weren’t a war to fight. Garrison Army was…a bit more stupid than I like in my day to day life.

My kids are turned off by the thought of joining now. I recommend they don’t consider it anymore either. They were really interested at one point. I wouldn’t join today either. And it’s not because of this geriatric ad.

Join the air force, way better.

I read the Navy is no longer requiring a high school diploma or GED.

Boo!

A bullet from a 80 year old is just as deadly as one from an 18 year old.

Can I get another GI Bill? If so, I’d probably join up again just for that and the security clearance.

Damn! 😳

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

Does anyone charge a fee when invoices aren't paid on time? Or is this just par for the freelance life?

For those of you who got out at 10, do you wish that you rode it out to 20? I’m at a crossroad and I’m not sure what to do. Have some active/reserve time, wrapping up graduate school, and am now considering either a) come back to the business world or b) go active and retire before 50 and live off a nice pension. Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.
