Where It’s Not Safe
Relax Airborne (I’m nothing but a dirty leg so I kid)

This man is already 27, which means he’s well past the age of the cool guy shyt in a airborne infantry unit being worth the long term damage to his body

He needs to go MI, FI, AG, etc

Earn a steady paycheck for the family less taxing on the body
I was trolling him lol

I exercise a lot and train bjj. That's probably the only things I actually like doing but it doesn't pay the bills. The physical work is one of the things I'm looking forward to. Is 27 that old? Do they fukk you up that bad?

They can

And yes, 27 is ancient in the military especially Army or Marines

I started feeling old at 22 lmao

Thats the age of the average staff sergeant whose almost halfway thru their 20 year career and has been around for a while

Me and you are kind of in the same situation except you got kids. The dead end job life is not cool

If you want to go to war, join up.
If you want to live the military life without being FORCED to go to war, become a US Contractor for the Army, Navy or Air Force.
You will have the OPTION of deploying to theater rather than be forced to.
You also won't have to deal with the typical BS the military have to go through during basic with some jackhole yelling at you and all the hazing bullshyt. While you will have to go through the civilian equivalences, they're not nearly as shytty as Basic...and you can beat the ever-living shyt outta someone if you want without getting put out for it.
You will have to be around active duty military, veterans and military civilians all the time during your new career though.
The best part...the pay.
If you stay stateside you make anywhere between 80k-140k.
Deploy...for any amount of time (1 month to 1 year+) and you can double that....guaranteed.
(I just got back from overseas and made 20k for just a months work.)

Check out CACI, KBR, Blackwater(hard to get with tho), GDIT and Northrop Grumman to start...
They all have military contracts and more than likely need bodies for all types of jobs and taskings.

Good luck.
HOOAH!

Outside of actually joining the military, this is the advice I'd personally give you OP.

Whatever you join, remember that we are gearing up for war again. With the political mess the Democrats have made, you can pretty much expect a Right Leaning White House for at least 4 years. Expect war, brehs! No seriously! Everybody is sleeping. Obama pretty much p*ssyfooted with everybody on the war front. When a Republican gets in they will want to show they won't be the same way. We even have a new boogeyman lined up. Al Qaeda on the way out and ISIS on the way in.

This is true too. My uncle worked out there for damn near a decade, plus your first 80k is tax free. He got my lazy ass cousin a job out there being a janitor make like 60-80k and he turned it down because he was scared. Check it out! They also have jobs at bases overseas in some cool places: Germany, Italy, Japan, etc. I was checking out what I can do once I’m done with my degree and I’m thinking of going to do nursing in Germany if I can.

Usajobs.gov check it out.
