Hello. I'm 21. College drop out & i was considering joining the U.S military. I was planning on enlisting into the U.S Navy. I wanted to know if it's actually worth joining just to gain the benefits & having the military pay for my college. I want to go to film school but it's too expensive. I currently work but i feel like a change of environment would help me take my life seriously & teach me responsibility. You don't have to be a current sailor or veteran to answer although it would be perfered.
Army vet. Went through school on the GI Bill. I do not have, and never had, any college debt.
Why did you drop out of college? This is important because if you cannot handle college, there is a very large change you cannot handle the military.
I didnt take college seriously & now i regret it. Wasted 3 years pretty much doing nothing. I wanna do better & i think the military will help & teach me.
>I want to do X school but its too expensive
welcome to reality, where if you were born without money you literally cannot do jack fucking shit
Is wanting to join the military with the sole reason of just getting the benefits a bad thing?

Fuck it up and you're scum of the earth.
Sounds good. Thanks for the honesty.

Yes the Navy is a good place to start. All ships have major av departments. shoot for that but prepare yourself for kitchen duty.
