I enlisted in America's Navy in 2005 and haven't looked back since then. The reason I joined was an obligation I felt to my country. My reasoning was that so many other men and women before me served their country and many paid the ultimate sacrifice so why shouldn't I serve at least one enlistment? At worst, I would have served 5 years and gotten out but the Navy is actually one of the best things to have happened to me. Not only did I grow up from an 18 year old kid into who I am now, I'm learning and perfecting a skill set I'll be able to take to the civilian sector. And before I get any wise-ass comments about handling line, painting, ect. I'll add that for the 10 years I've been in, I've worked on nothing but the electrical system of the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet which is a product of Boeing. After I get out with my degree in Aeronautical Science, by all accounts, I should have a foot in the door at any aviation based company. With all of this being said, tell me how I've wasted my time again? I fail to grasp your logic.....
