I appreciate all the advise that was given. Also by full time I meant active duty. I didn't mean to confuse some by what I meant. As far as the money goes that's not really a motivating factor for me in my decision to want and go into the military. Its more based on my family has been in the military for several generations now. I actually liked the lifestyle; aside from my dad being gone for at least 6 months at a time. In case your wondering he was ATC for 20 years.
