[QUOTE="Towely, post: 215364, member: 10499"] I understand what you are all saying and thank you very much for the concern and advice. I am going to college for mechanical engineering so(assuming I get my degree in ME) I won't have much trouble finding a job after college. As far as going into a 'safer' job, I won't go into all the reasons for not going that route. I have considered all the possibilities. I have lost a friend over there and also know someone who lost both legs. I don't have much at home. No really close friends that I see a lot, no girlfriend. I either work or train(MMA). This would give me a lot I don't have at home. More than anyone can get at home. My reasons for wanting to go into the infantry(and yes, part of me would like to experience combat, though I do not want to because I think it would be fun or at all enjoyable) are all deeply personal. Even I don't quite understand them all yet. I just know it's something that I have to do. It's almost like a calling. For as long as I can remember I've known that this is what I want with my life, now the time has finally come to go out and do it. [/QUOTE]
