Which branch of the military to enlist in?
When I finished high school in the summer of 2001 I had to make a choice. University or military. Nothing major seemed to be going on in the world and I decided on university. Not even one month into the lectures and two planes brought down the World Trade Center.
I've often kicked myself for going to university first, but there isn't a whole lot I can do. I want to finish my program, and then enlist. Meanwhile, what do you think you would like to go into, and why?
Marines? Army? Navy? or Air Force?
My eyes are not 20/20 so being an airforce pilot is impossible. I do, however, think I'd like the Navy. (U.S. Navy mind you, not Canadian)
Any thoughts?

Think Jerrek has dual nationality if memory serves.
Why not get your eyes lasered Jerrek?
In the US you can have them done so they're better than 20/20

Don't tell em, get lasered, recover, go along for the eye test, get millions spent on your training, and then hope you pass the centrifuge

They do say it's taking part, and not the winning that counts :p

They accept the older technique (not lasik ?sp) but the one where they cut radialy in the eye.
