How do I deal with the shame and self disappointment and regret

You can enlist at anything up to 30 years of age, dude. There's nothing stopping you from walking into a recruitment center right now.

21 is nothing. Do it.

As the others have said, you're 21. It obviously doesn't bother you that badly if you aren't walking into a recruitment center before you only get older.

>>31979379
Being a grunt mostly sucks, so unless you aimed for a longer career you haven't missed much.

How about you get out there and do something productive for your country.

I'm 30 and I think i'm only past the enlistment maximum for the Marines. Army goes almost to 40.

Do it now before you're married and settled down.

21?

Dude I'm about to join the Guard and I'm 29.

>Now I'm 21 and my life has passed me by.

I want to think you're retarded, but this is how I felt when I was 21 as well. So I'll assume you're serious.

Dude 21 year olds to me, a 29 year old, are like BABIES. You have so much time. I would kill to be 21 again with what I know now.

Go join, you'll be fine.

Bruh I got into the DEP for the marines in august and I'm 21, gonna be at Parris Island in January.

I did feel like I should have done this sooner myself, so I had similar feelings before going to talk to a recruiter about what they offer.
