More options are better, usually, so sure, I would have liked the option not to join.
But like I said, I’m a terrible student and still haven’t gone back to use my education benefit even though it would cost me nothing but time.
I’m simply providing a counter to the sentiment “I don’t wanna die for some oil company”.
To be honest, I think it every time I see people complaining about their prospects. Rather than removed about it online, I did something to upgrade my socioeconomic status.
Is it a counter? Because your argument seems to be that risking dying for some oil company was worth it for you because you ended up successful since you didn’t die.
Did you know how low the risk was going to be when you signed up? Do you think most people sign up knowing that there will be little likelihood that they will die in a war?

This is hard to convey to people who didn’t serve but my job, even if I had deployed, was low risk.

I wore the same pair of boots, issued to me in basic, my entire 4 years because I sat on my ass the majority of the time. They never needed replacing.

I did and I would expect most do because the jobs are public.
I considered pararescue and the difference between that and what I did was clear before joining.
Yes, most people that sign up for infantry want to do it
