Of course you want to be a soldier, everyone does when they're young. You want to be a bad-ass motherfucker who shows up to save the world. But truthfully, soldiering is not really like that. You're a pawn a political game of chess and the only way to win is spend day by day waiting for the clock to run out and for your contract to expire.
Go to college, enjoy your 20's, limit personal belongings, don't buy a car, don't buy a house, don't buy anything. Don't take advice from anyone around you. Apply for grants, apply for scholarships. Learn skills that will allow you to work anywhere you want. Live a good life. Stop worrying about success. Make memories. Bang bitches. Go dancing. Make the most " Fuck it, hold my beer." moments that you can. Because one day the clock runs out.
