I think that im too young to do it right now, what with me being 16, (17 next month

) but yeh, also i just didnt want it as badly as i did in the first place, and to carry on with the training you really got to want it, otherwise you just find yourself racking your brain thinking why the hell am i here 24/7...

oh and i got to week 7... managed to get out of doing marshal star tho...

Think its just the branch that you choose that makes a difference like mentioned.
Well i quit the marines btw, thought i was too young, and i just didnt want to do it, so im gonna join the navy and 'maybe' transfer later on when im older..
still deciding on a branch tho, was thinking, NA/aircraft handler, AEM, or maybe NA/survival equipment. Any recommendations?

I'd reccomend going for AEM. Be aware though, it's the hardest course in the navy (I've heard stories about classes passing out with just 30% of what they started with), so you have to be quite intelligent to do it. However when you get onboard it's a relatively easy life.
