I have a lot of respect for people in the military, and I would take great pride in being a part of it. I wouldn't care if they paid me a dollar a day, they cover most everything I'll need and I'm not gonna be there to make a lot of money. I'm not currently in a relationship and I don't really intend to be in anything serious while I'm in the service. And besides doing a possible tour in Iraq or Afghanistan, I don't expect to see more of the world than the base I'm stationed at. I'm joining for the pride of serving in my country's military, but I also want to serve for the structure of military life, along with the challenge of it. I want the discipline, teamwork and leadership skills that the military will give me, and I'm willing to work for these things. That, more than anything else, is why I am joining the military.
