Joiningt he navy was one of the hardest decisions i’ve ever made, and is going to impact how i live the rest of it. On one side, there’s the great training it offers, it sets you up for careers outside the navy, eveny paying for your college (that was a hue plus for me). On the other, it puts a strain on relationships, takes you away from your family and often puts you in places you would rather not be. It definitely comes with its ups and downs. I’m a little over six months into my contract. Hooyah.
