Ok guys, here's my situation. I was planning to go into the service after High School (14 years ago) and was talked out of it by friends. Back in 96 (I was 26 then) I was about to join the Army Reserve as an officer and my wife wanted me to put it off for 6 months. Then I scored a great job that payed way more than it should have (afforded me some nice FA toys) and the schedule on that job would not allow ANY time off for the first 2 years.
Now I'm 31 and I'm having the nagging feeling that I should have done some service. More of a hobby as far as time goes, more of service as the heart goes. In the family tree, I have Vets from Nam, WWII, Spanish American War, Civil, & Revolutionary War, and I just plain feel guilty. I always wanted to do it, but never had the time.
With the reserves, I could keep my job, my house, my wife, and dogs. The wife is working on her PHD for another 3 years anyways, so no kids planned until 2005. So I thought I might give it a try.
I can see myself in OCS with a bunch of 22 year olds. Geez, that would be embarassing.
Give me your input.
