is the figure that I've seen tossed around, but they wont take you, typically, until you've had 3-4 years of infantry expericence in the Army or the Marines. Still, 150k can retire you in the USA, if you know how to invest it, and you should have saved another 30k in those 3-4 military years, too. It's something that a lot of high school guys should consider, for sure. The GI bill will pay for your college, too, to a certain extent, at least.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
consider being a mercenary, 150k a year.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Depends on the person.
Talked to some guys who have done sanctioned/sponsored/ordered killings.
It affects everyone differently. Some people have no problem with it, others get PTSD and suicide a few months later.

I am a military guy would you be willing to kill your own guys? As in your fellow countrymen and veterans? If so then this job would be for you theres no loyalty other than the dough. I did my four years active USAF and I am going guard in the USAF. If you do enlist remember this there are no guarantees in the military!
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

An M4 with an Eotec holographic site, Surefire lighting system, flip up iron sites and all the other goodies will run you over 2K.
Oh, and a subscription to Soldier of Fortune magazine I'd guess will be 20-30.00 bucks per year.
Just sayin'

Be a contract firefighter overseas. Same amount of money. Six months of training.
I'm talking about Blackwater, or the equivalent, in Afghnistan. you won't be fighting US troops, you'll mostly be bored from sitting around guarding something. If you think a give situation is too risky, don't sign up for it, that's all. When you are in the military, refusing an assignment is going to get you sent to Leavenworth.
the military will issue you your rifle, etc, and you save your money while in there. the contractor will arm/equip you, too, it's usually not feasible for you to travel with such armament, not on commercial airlines. the contractor might bring over many of you at a time, on a leased jet, tho, so it's feasible that then you might bring your own gear.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
