So, fellow /k/ommandos I have reached a point in my life where I am absolutely sick of my life. Not suicidal, but just sick of the people in it and the place I am at. Im a college kid who has switched majors like 3 times from Biology to Polysci to Mechanical and then to Electrical Engineering. I have decent/good grades but I still have another year and a half left, and I honestly dont know if I can do that, because im 23 and in my 5th year. So here is where im at fellow anons of /k/. What should I do? I have put alot of thought into it and I want to join up and be a PJ. Im posting this here because im open to suggestions and criticism. I cant talk to my friends about this because they all ask me "do you want to die" or just completely shit on it. Im also 5'7 white, 140lb in good shape and probably more athletic than the average guy. So what do yall think? Should I begin training my ass off and drop out after this semester and join up and go balls to the wall or should I just finish school? Doing something like this has always been a dream of mine also besides being a pilot, but I would be happy with either.

No, but in all seriousness your issue with your life is that you are mediocre at everything in general. If you join the military in your current state you are going to still be mediocre, but now in the military.

>go to bed early
>wake up early
>actually study for school
>quit jerking off so much
>start working out and put actual effort into your diet
>read more
>if you are addicted to a substance stop putting that substance into your body
>quit spending money on stupid shit

Try fixing your life first and then make the life changing decision of joining the military...

No. You're gonna get super motivated, then fail the assessment because you didn't train enough for the swim and get pushed into a shitty admin job. Your motivation will take a huge dip once you realize that nobody really cares about 'that one time that you were a PJ for a weekend' and soon you'll spiral into the same thoughts of apathy that you've had before. Eventually you'll feel isolated, used up, and abandoned and will kill yourself by carbon monoxide poisoning with your phony pony Mustang in your girlfriend's garage at two in the morning.
Guess how I know all that?
>>
>probably more athletic than the average guy
That's exactly what it takes to go through one of the harder special forces program. Being slightly above average. Also protip, you're not.

You sound like a causality of your generation. You thought you could just float through life and then hit a wall of reality. I was thst way too.

You need to train seriously, read every day and force yourself to go outside and interact with people. But you won't because you're a pussy.

You'll join the military, probably wash out of boot or end up mopping floors.
You'll probably kill yourself eventually.

This is how your life is heading if you don't change it. You'll fall victim to the real world and never escape.

lmfao that EE student depression. We all got it. Get a GF, some good drinking buddies, and start lifting.
That helped me.

You seem like you just don't know what you want to do.

I always wanted to do Para rescue, but I was DQ'D from the Air Force at MEPS. I ended up going army instead, fulfilling the age old meme.

I knew how tough it was to complete the pipe line, and I started early. I asked my dad what it took, and he pointed me in the right direction. I did CAP from 12 to 18, lettered in two sports, and was honor roll, and graduated in the top 5 of my class.

All this and my dad said I would still probably wash out, assuming i was even accepted in the first place. My entire high school career was focused on that one goal, and I still didn't have much of a chance. Being a pilot is even more difficult.

My advice would be to finish school. In anything, doesn't matter the major. Some sort of engineering would be best, but as long as you can do calculus, youre good.

After you finish, talk to a recruiter about going officer. You can do ROTC if you want the easy way out, but OCS is the way to go. You can try applying for aviation related fields, but don't hold your breath.

You dont just need motivation, bud. You need a vision or a dream. Figure out what that is while you're in the military getting paid to babysit. Try out everything you can. Get as many schools in your contract as possible, and don't swear in until the specified training programs are listed.

Thanks guys I really appreciate it. Its nice to be reminded that Im not the only one who is being or has been miserable. Ill look for something, to keep me motivated. Its just so depressing waking up everyday doing some bullshit that you will never use too much. Just find it so pointless recently. Anyways seriously though thanks for commenting on my thread guys yall made my night alot better.
>>
>>31497125
No problem bud.

Just do your thing man. Enjoy school while you can. Don't stress out too bad, and try to keep your GPA above 3.5.
>>
>>31494914
From your general attitude, you're not going to make it.
>>
>>31494914
At least stick it out and graduate.

After that, you can go CRO if you feel compelled to.
>>
>>31497125
Yeah, look for something else to take pride in other than your academic achievements, in EE you're going to take a lot of academic punches to the face. Make sure you get up and exercise, don't stay in all day.

You're gonna fail. Don't bother wasting your time or the air forces

>Inability to even stick to a plan
>5'7" and 140 lbs - "athletic"
>should I quit this to go do that?

So you're out of shape, have no real motivation, haven't been prepping for this at all, and run away from problems/quit often.

Yeah man, go for it.

Welcome, future Security Forces defender hua

Pj's are a joke. Shouldn't even be considered SF. All they do is sit in a pog ass base waiting for a grunt to get shot so they can all run to the helo high fiving each other that they finally get to leave the wire.
>>
>>31499900
This. I remember when I was in BMT my dorm chief was always talking about how he was gonna be CCT and shit all over us pogs, everyone hated the cunt.

Fast forward a year and a half and guess who I see at the main gate scanning IDs?

Don't listen to these faggots. Join and try out. If you don't you will regret it for the rest of your faggot ass life.
>>
>>31500059
You do know that they get deployed too right?
They don't only do search and rescue.
You've obviously never, ever met one in person.
They get some of the best medical training available, go to combat dive school and military free fall school as well.
They can hang with any special operations through any branch.
Their fitness requirements are even more strict than CTTs.

Please learn about something before talking about it.
>>
>>31500806
>>31500059

Let me clarify.
I didn't mean they just deploy.
I mean they get attached to SF/SEALs/and even MARSOC and so on.
Yes, even if that team already has an 18D or corpsman/SARC.

Shadowspear.com
Go there and learn something.

>>31500842
Your source was great. Just verified that they haven't done shit since Vietnam. And you are right I have not met one of them. When we needed a quick casevac they were no were to be seen. "sorry guys no air today. It's too dusty"
>>
>>31501076
If getting attached to mixed teams with JSOC falls under "haven't done shit" then you are absolutely right buddy.
You're a fucking retard.
>>
OP, if you're the kind of guy who has trouble sticking to a miserable schedule, military might not be for you.
>>
>>31501190
Just cause your attached doesn't mean shit. Yeah they can be attached to a seal team, but while the seals are doing their mission pj's stay back in their room as a med QRF. Just sayn.
Groupies getting all butthurt.
>>
>>31501413
Wrong they don't sit back when attached to other SOF.
They are on the team.
I know you don't like being called out on not knowing what you're talking about but believe it or not (I know you choose not to because you're thick headed and ignorant) they can and will be apart of the DA.

Sorry lad, next time just don't spew shit you don't know about and convos like this won't happen.
>>
>>31501413
>>31501725
And hell while we're talking about being attached to SOF, I know an old fucking rigger who saw DA with JSOC in desert storm.
>>
>>31501725
I've personally seen a number of SF units and not a single pj within them. I'm saying out of my own experiences from being there. Not from a fucking website.
>>
>>31501779
So you've seen a number of just green berets with no PJ?
Intradasting.
I doubt they get attached to just green berets.
They are out on mixed teams with JSOC.
I don't get my info from shadowspear.
I just know about the site and told the guy to read up.
I get my info from the horse's mouths.
From all the CTTs, PJ, SEALs, SOWT, SWCC even rangers to an extent and so on, I meet these guys at the MFFI school in Yuma AZ.
