I suppose in America, being in the military is something cool. Where I come from, it's suicide, and it's mandatory for a reason.
"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I wanted to join the military.
I gained 40 pounds over the last year and just finally lost it after my bpd relationship.
when i did do 30 pullups and run a mile in around 5 minutes i was at low 150's and 5'11. I put on alot more muscle later on and was pumping out around 85 pushups at a time.
Right now i can do about 20 pullup's max and still run a mile in about 5 mins. i weigh roughly 168. I'm at around 60 pushup's right now and nowhere near my physical peak which was 2 years ago.
slowly working my way back up
. I also swim alot and used to be a national ranked swimmer.

How'd you do on the ASVAB?
If you have a college degree then you should certainly go in as an officer. Remember, you hold all the cards. If they can't offer you what you want then don't do it.
Do not enlist for a year-You are a man with a degree which already puts you above these 18 year old enlisted guys. Go officer all the way.

i doubt i will do it at this point in my life. I'm starting my own business as well as studying for my LSAT's. But who knows, maybe a few months from now i might change my mind. For my actual score, it's probably not valid anymore. isn't it only valid for like 3-4 years? i took it my junoir year in highschool which was 7-8 years ago.

i did a little research on becoming an officer in the marine corps. Look's like PLC-Law is what best fits me. can anyone here elaborate one it?
PLC-Law is a post baccalaureate degree program for law school attendees. Active duty is postponed until a student obtains a law degree and passes the bar examination. Officer Candidate Class The Officer Candidate Class Program is precommission training for college seniors and graduates who want to be Marine Corps officers. Upon graduation from college, candidates attend one 10-week officer training course and receive a reserve commission upon successful completion of training. In addition to the programs described above, the Marine Corps has programs for qualified enlisted personnel to earn commissions as officers. These programs include the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program, the Enlisted Commissioning Program, and the Meritorious Commissioning Program.
I see that this is after your 4 year degree which i just received and you have to get into lawschool first? then you go reserves after? is the 10 weeks before law school or after law school. i don't feel like calling a recruiting office and have them try to suck me in and talk for 5 hours until i know what i'm exactly getting myself into.
side note: Anyone know if you can still become an officer with a felony charge or misdemenor?

AAAgent,
I have a friend in the Marines that is a Junior undergrad and just got done with OCS. I want to be a JAG officer and he has been trying to convince me to go Marines with the PLC- Law option. Here is a site he gave me. www.marineocs.com
You will probably find better answers there.
