How is that possible?

No kids, rent and bills total 1K per month, do the math.

 

[KyokushinKarateMan]

Oh another thing, if you got connections in the civilian world, don't enlist. Thank me later

When martial law takes effect I want to be on the side with the guns

OP just go on USAJOBs.com. If you got a degree there are a bunch of civilian military jobs that you can apply for and get.

You can get a job all around the US or even world doing some pretty cool shyt.

I enlisted at 36, and Air Force boot camp was easy as hell but I'm a young 36 not sick and flabby. If you join at a older age people are either going to crack jokes on you or ask you why you waited so late. I got tough skin so shyt didn't bother me.

What did you end up doing for a job?

I feel like this is embarrassing for some reason.

seems drastic to make this sort of career change, even if you’re bored, you really trying to fight for the country as you near middle age?

Why the army? I feel like the air force is a better branch. Do you though breh, good luck

 

[Silver Surfer]

Speaking for myself, I hated being homeless

You wanna spend the next four years getting scolded by some twenty seven year old staff sergeants? Or worse, some twenty three year old first or second lieutenants? Be my guest, I guess

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Ole boy making $46,000 at 40 years old why would you want to join bootcamp now

Great news is you can make a career change now and be making more money. Hell, I was you I'd go to truck driving school. Buy your own truck and become a contractor. Make $6000 a month then go from there.

At your current rate you're looking to retire in your 60s breh
