You're right, every man has to stand on his own and to keep it all the way with you, some cats are built for it, some are not. I was not built for service (Navy).
I was in a similar situation. I had failed out of college and thought I was out of options. I didn't have any children at the time, but I really felt like it was either that or become one of those dudes who leaves high school and never makes it out of the hood.
You have a positive attitude about it and sound like you have a lot of info going in. That will definitely work in your favor.
Be sure to take advantage of that GI Bill and get that degree WHILE you're in or at least take as many classes as possible.
Good luck.

Military = welfare with different strings attached.
Lemme stop hating, haha. Don't rely on it for your entire life though, and it looks like you won't so that's a plus. Save up while you're in there if you can..

I did the Army for a little over 5 years and got 50,000 for college for it. Did two tours in Iraq and now I'm in my third year of getting an Electrical Engineering degree. No loans thus far

Congrats on your decision. It's good to see that you're focused and have a game plan. I'm an AF Air Traffic Controller and I don't regret enlisting at all. Definitely be sure to keep yourself in top physical condition but going to BMT you don't really have a choice lol. Like others have said BMT is nothing but mind games don't let them get to you. When it's all said and done you'll laugh at the weeks you spent there.

man with that asvab score your gonna wish you came into the AF, been in for 5 years and been deployed to iraq and afghan 3 times, spent some time living and working with the army due to my career field (military police) and no matter what you score or what your job is, you live like @#$*. you probably should have done some more research because the lil price that you would have paid to get your tat removed would have paid off because right now the bonus that Intel guys are getting in the AF is up to $90,000. i tried to retrain into it but i didnt score as high as they require. goodluck to you though

And Wordy, I plan on doing Green to Gold in the future. You ever considered it?
I'm about 12 classes away from my BS and so I think I'm going to go the OTS route. Either way though becoming an officer is were it's at. My home boy just got a C130 pilot slot, I wouldn't want to be on his planebut he's set.
