It took about a year to decide to join the military in any capacity. Growing up, the military was never presented as a viable option for me, (parents used to be hippies) so when I started considering it, I wanted to make sure it was the Right thing for me to do. Once the decision to join was made, I started looking at what jobs interested me. Doors were opened that I didn't even know were there and The more I looked into SF the more I saw it as the perfect fit for me. Even the term "Quiet Professional" speaks of what I want to exemplify as a solider. I really respect doing something incredible without the feeling the need to tell people about it. There's more to it than that, but I should get back to my current job...
