It’s like my exact story right now. I’m still needing that push to talk to a recruiter because I know I’m not as fit

Everything takes time, everything is a journey. We decide to do nothing with the time we have left or give everything we have to the time we have left. That is the only choice we can make - choose to live as hard and pure as possible, no matter the cost. You can do it because I believed in myself and I knew I couldn't do it - I was wrong.

If your old and going to join as an officer that’s fine, but dear god don’t go in enlisted as an old person or els your life will be a living hell, I went in enlisted at the age of 23 and I was constantly reminded of how old I was, everywhere I went in the military and every new unit I came across they would make me feel like I was in my 60s, because at my age I should have been at least a Sergeant but it’s a really bad look if your 23 and a privet, I didn’t think it was a big deal when I first was signing up because I thought the military was made up of fully grown adults, but later I realize how embarrassing it was especially when your peers are 17 and 18 years old and they all asking why you joined so late, it’s even more embarrassing when a 19 year old small female outranks you as a corporal and is trying to talk down to you just because she can and there’s nothing you can do because your just a grown adult privet first class who is the new guy I honestly did not think 23 was old at all until I enlisted in the Marines and found out that the military is mostly made up of children and everyone my age was running the show as sergeants

Having Mr Logan as my tutor has always been my pleasure. He gave me moral and material support especially in maths. Not only that, Mr Logan has the key to succeeding the ASVAB and he has the solutions to your questions. I have been in the Navy now for a year and is thanks to him.Since then, I Mr Logan have been helping people in any issue concerning passing the ASVAB with an excellent AFQT.
