When I was your age, I lived in Alabama (should have never left!), worked at the largest Chevrolet dealer in the southeast and already had a family. I tried to join the Air Force while we were there but having a family, they more or less said, talk to the Marines. I never talked to the Marines.....

I really should have followed through in high school though. I had everything almost completed to join the Army right after graduation but the b**ch I was dating at the time talked me out of it. I would have had almost 30 years in before I would have been medically discharged for what happened with my gut. I then think, if I would have done that or followed through after I dumped her, I wouldn`t have my kids or grandkids. So, I guess it is a double edged sword......One door closes and another opens and why didn`t I buy stock in Microsoft back in 1985?????????

I guess, do what you want to do, not what others say you should do. It is your life to live to the full extent as you please! I wish you the best!
