How should a person take care of their life and move on in this position? (more detail)(military question)?

Ok. you graduated from H.School about a year ago. About the same time you were hired (got a job), lost the job recently. Owe over $ 1000.00 in credit.. (around $ 1400.00) still getting higher. Owe $ 300.00 on a phone. You hate your life right now %26amp; have a large family. They never help. You can't goto them.No food most of the time. Little sister always making fun of you because your still living with your family (she is to), have no car, (no job), no life...and your at age 20. Father is truly annoying and doubts your life will ever go anywhere at all. Doubts you'll even goto college. Mother never went to college. At the moment youv'e got nothing to live for (guess). Are sad, depressed, stressed, angry. No friends basically. Nothing. Nothing but as far as 'what you see is what you get'. (hellish pain basically) However there is a possibility to change all of that. You hear about the U.S. Military. To me it seems like heaven. But the only thing that is stop you from going is death. should u join?will u die?How should a person take care of their life and move on in this position? (more detail)(military question)?
What the hell? Go talk to a Navy or Coast Guard Recruiter today? Death? Seriously, only in the Army or Marines normally. The Navy and Coast Guard kick butt. You will the time of your life and never have to look back to the loser family you are talking about. People like you enlist in the service everyday for exactly the same reason. Don't tell them about your crazy depression thougths. Seriously we were all like you and now we have a great life with lots to show for it. You can get your college degree for free while on active duty and get paid tons of money to have fun and see the world. I joined after graduating with three college degrees from Notre Dame and it is still the best thing I have ever done. Life is too short to worry about a crappy life. Go get a life and have fun doing it.How should a person take care of their life and move on in this position? (more detail)(military question)?
My husband did not have much of a family life growing up and he went into the Military and loved it! Was in for 10 years and made something of himself. Great pay and Great training, You also can get your money for College. My husband is now out of the Military and is a disabled vet. But he has his pride and I could not be any prouder of him. So if you want to make something of yourself and become a man. (or women) and show pride in yourself. Just because you go into the Military does not mean your going to die. Look into the different branchs. I do think you need to grow up a little bit and the Military can sure make you do that. Also about your money issues you can get a sign on bouns depending on what you want to do in the Military and the training you want. Hope this helps. Take some pride in yourself for once.
Um, u sound like a pretty normal 20yo to me.. I've been there/done that as have many.


Your debt/credit issue is minimal, TRUST ME... and the IRS is actually the best creditor me/husband has had...and most forgiving.. we owed and paid $125/mo for the last 7yrs..... So try not to fret there..





As for father..yeah, mine pulled same **** too.. Sis went off to a state university...meanwhile brother whom is mentally slow..went off to a living facil...no big deal about the $ spent there.





I never did finish school...but neither did my dad... :) My mom however went back..before she died of cancer and did, and got a 'decent' job....





It isn't ALL about the school. It is about finding work/a life that you like..at least a lil to support yourself so that your parents no longer have to as they have since you were conceived.











I'm 31 and have a 2 and 3yo children and a 16yo and 18 step teen girls...





my 18step teen girl lives w/us...she dropped out got GED last yr..was actually proud of her as she was first to pass it w/o taking the classes...





big whoop..we had her tested yrs prior and was gifted..lol..like that matters in real life when u r nothing but a bum, mooch and petty theif.....





Meanwhile my nephew grad this may and joined military school, started on Monday... He was in ROTC ...for only 2yrs..


they visited the school... HE wanted to do this,, come out as an officer..right?





well called home yesterday, 3 days in.. crying like a child, wanted to come home...his dad said, stick w/it, etc..blah blah...


found out today...he got a ride and made it HOME....








bottom line...............





IT SUCKS...don't do it





and most of alll, don't support this war over oil.. not f'ing worth it dude...








go to community college or art school or culinary school...or become a master brick mason..THAT takes talent....
wtf didnt i just answer this one, u double posted didnt u..... go view ur other 1 ahahaha
statistically speaking, you stand a better change of dying in a car wreck five miles from home than you will in combat.





More peple were murdered in one year inthis country than have doied over the ENTIRE length of the Iraq war. Chew on that.
well dude let me tell you from my experience in the marines and in the infantry and i have three deployments and im not dead yet but anyways you do sound like a reject and a sore loser so the military is full of those believe me you will fit right in so if you cant keep a job the military is your best option because the job security they give you here is pretty awesome is so awesome they wont even fire you if you mess up... so think about it buddy
The only things that are guaranteed in LIFE is to pay taxes and die.





I joined the US Army straight out of HS. I could have stayed in my home town and flipped burgers or worked the oil rigs. I had no money, no job, no discipline and no education. I know have a degree, two houses, been happily married for the last 20 years, have a solid job and a solid income. I retired from the Army 3 years ago, and don't regret one minute of my life in the military.





Is there a chance that you will go to war and die? Yes.


Is there a chance that you will get hit crossing the street and die? Yes.


Is there a chance that you will get shot, while in your home town, and die? Yes.





Statistically, more people are killed on a daily basis in the US of A, due to traffic accidents, drugs, alcohol, and shootings than in the War on Terror.





You want to do something with your life? You want to get your life going? Join the military.
u just asked this........
very sorry you are having such a hard time, we all are in this day and time.
The military would be great for your life, and getting you on the right track. You cant say ';will I die';? Because there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the Military and the casualties are at about 1% or less. But if you are that depressed I dont know if you can handle the military. It kind of sounds like you are a negative person and being put into hard situations... I dont know if that is the right thing for you. I think you need someone to help bring out the positive aspects in your life. You need to see through the $#!! Clouds and to the sun... especially if you want to join. Good luck, and if you need someone to talk to, e mail me.
dude quit complaining
If you are truly depressed the military will not allow you in to active duty. If you want more out of your life, you have to do it. You need to leave your family behind, and take care of yourself. Your relationship with them will get better when you no longer live and seek support from them. Cut up your credit cards and if you need to live on mac n' cheese or top ramen to get by-- then do it. If you choose the military route get yourself in a good state mentally. I love the military life, however it can be very challenging. You need to make this decision on your own. Really question why you want this career. If it is only for monetary reasons I would suggest you find another choice. Military life is not always easy and only harder if the only reason you do it is for money.
The military is a great place to get your life together... but.... you need to fix your attitude my friend.





The military is looking for fearless warriors.
Are you sure the Military will have you? You sound like a loser.
What the... I told you to join the Coast Guard. You're still here?
