Honey-PRAY!!! Kidding. Seriously, I hope you talked with ALL branches and are going in with open eyes. I am a 46 year old vet who enlisted at 37 and can say that Air Defense Artillery or any MOS is not a joke by any means. Go with your heart cause you are joining a pretty BIG family and for me, WELCOME TO THE FAMILY and get ready for the ride of your life that starts at Basic Training. Try to get BCT at Fort Jackson-beware of 'Dragass Hill' the first few weeks of it are brutal.
Good luck and God Bless ya.

PFC Heydt, you seem to be the only one to offer the advice I was going to post and that is check out ALL the services. If you have a MOS in mind, see how/if offers differ with each branch. I went Army because they could give me the school I wanted. Call it luck but I actually enjoyed doing what I did.
