I also almost joined. Graduated HS slightly after 9/11 and everyone had a huge boner for the military around that time. My buddy joined and referred me. I ultimately decided against it, and it was super annoying when I’d get random calls from recruiters the next like 5 years. They were very persistent. Glad I didn’t join and have to go to Iraq / Afghanistan. I quite enjoy being alive.
Life hack: I told them I was a conscientious objector when I was 18 and never heard from them again.
I was this 🤏 close to joining ROTC and thought real hard if I’d be willing to kill random strangers in exchange for tuition. The debt was worth it.
Now you can tell random strangers that they owe you tuition and healthcare.
