I am exploring options into various ground combat related careers in all branches. I have a degree, but am questioning whether to enlist or go for a commission. Why did you enlist? Why did you commission? What considerations led to your decision? Would you go back and change your decision if you could?

(Join to see) I enlisted because I wanted to serve my county, and I felt that aiding South Vietnam was a just cause. My father died serving our country, so could I do less than serve? When I was discharged, I obtained my degree, and began a dream career. No regrets over my decision.
The choice is yours to make, but with a degree, give serious consideration to becoming an officer. Keep us posted on your decision.

I first enlisted because I wanted to serve my country like family members before me and I chose the Marines because people said I wouldn't be able to make it through!! Now I want the responsibility of being the decider and the planner. I just need to continue to push till the end for this commission!

I deemed the military to be a noble profession, we can help write history, and I can experience different jobs.
