You can go as far you set your mind too. If you join take it seriously, go to school, make rank and go from there.

How will my service in the military affect my future career opportunities?

What kind of support and resources are available to me as a service member?

How will my deployment experience impact my personal and professional relationships?

How will my military training and experience translate to the civilian workforce?

How can I best support my family and loved ones during my time in the military?

What kind of opportunities are available for continuing education and career development within the military?

Was 20 yrs worth the opportunity cost?

I am wondering where should I go when the time comes that I will leave military. Although benefits are plenty I have too find a job to pay my bills.

What to do next? This has always been on my mind. I feel like I am afraid of what the future holds for me.
