Going to go talk to a Marine recruiter in the morning, may check out the other branches afterwards as well.

2 jobs ftw, even if they are 2 crappy jobs...

minimum wage x 40 hours a week + minimum wage x 20 hours a week = enough to get out of debt, slowly but surely

so if you got a day shift at a gas station and work 40 hours, you could still work 6-10 at night someplace else and still have free weekends... tack on 1 8 hour shift per weekend and you have 28 hours a week on your 2nd job.

you really think enlisting is going to wipe out your debt or save you? being in debt shows your (lack of) integrity. good luck getting a security clearance

obviously you dont know much about the military....

my cousin was in a similar situation and he has a high security job with the USAF. They will take him, they will also tell him that his sign on bonus is going straight to his creditors on his behalf.

If I get accepted I'll be killing two birds with one stone. Any money I get as a bonus will go straight to debt and I'll finally be doing something with my life.
