    Good luck with achieving your goals. As the above poster says, its your life.

    I don't wish to talk you out of it but just bear in mind that:

    1. Recruiters are likely to sugarcoat life in the army and tell you what you want to hear.
    2. The reality may well be different from how you picture it.

    As long as you've researched it thoroughly that's the main thing. I hope it works out for you.

    Sounds familiar! I am going to be starting the enlisting process hopefully very soon.
    My parents were really surprised and discouraging about it when I first told them too. It didn’t really make sense with the way my personality was before but I have grown as a person since and stuck to being in the Army as my dream so they are now on the supportive side of borderline lol
    Have you looked much into what MOS or job you might want? I wouldn’t worry too much and let being out of shape influence your choice of whether or not to go for it. Fitness is important but they will prepare you during basic. As long as you make the weight requirement (that’s either on the scale or when measured by tape measure) they will allow you to enlist and begin training where they will get you into shape.
    If you want any extra support, it’s nice to have someone with similar goals and I would be happy to chat about any of it.
