"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.

I'm currently debating dropping out of college and joining the Navy as a linguist (Arabic and or Hebrew). I'm looking to travel, make money, and find something to do until I get my life straight. Right now I feel like I'm just in college because it's the next "logical" step after highschool and I'm not motivated to go to class.

I've narrowed my searches down to Navy, Airforce, and perhaps Coast Guard. I have a special interest in the Navy with all of their traveling, port stopping, etc. If you could tell me about what you enjoyed/disliked about the service, general day to day life (is it like a daily 8 hour job, or is it a constant all day job), and any other information you'd find useful.

I'm going to a recruiter on Monday to talk about it more but I'd like to hear an opinion that has no motivation behind it.

DO NOT RECOMMEND STAYING IN COLLEGE AND DOING ROTC
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

If you're set on enlisting then at least finish college so you always have the option of becoming an Officer

No experience to offer advice, but no reason you couldn't join and work on a degree while enlisted.
