My sister has been in the Navy for 8 years now and complains daily how new recruits coming in KNOW that the military is nothing to fear (as in basic training) and as of she works in a MEPS station she see's numerous excuse the expression "rejects" joining this is my pet peeve I understand you can further your education through the Military and support your family also but many are joining just because I never could join the Military at 18 and I'm not afraid to say why cause I didnt have the balls too... now at 30 I see 18 year olds running too join up so they dont have to work. Well sorry about my lengthy complaining... and I hope all know this is JUST my personal opion good week all
