I just got the call last week and was given a job offer in Field Artillery. I am 21 and have been waiting a year for the application to go through.
Now that the moment is upon me after a year of waiting I almost feel like I don't want to take this path anymore... It is odd, my views on how I want my life to go have changed. My girlfriend keeps saying that I don't want to do it because of her; that is not the case.
I guess the reality of it is just starting to hit me, the lifestyle is going to be very different from say something like if I go to school for Police Foundations or trade school (Those are the 2 other options I am looking at)
I keep asking myself so you're going in for Artillery, after 3 years where will that put you? Say I want to go back to civi life after my contract, what can I do after I leave? It seems like I would have to go back to school..
I keep having anxiety attacks because of how uncertain I am, my girlfriend suggested that I go to Basic and give it my 100% and if after 5/6 weeks I realize it is not the lifestyle for me I should VR.
Any words of wisdom out there for a young confused lad?
