2. If thou meanst joining the military...
I say Aye. If you have a predilection for such a thing. I myself am inquiring upon that path, but I am doing it for purely financial reasons.

3. Yes, that is what I mean.
There's nothing else to do.

4. If you have a four-year degree...

I'd say apply for OCS (if you meet the requirements) rather than enlisting (the pay is better, and there's less humiliation involved). If you DON"T have a four-year degree, you should consider seeing if you qualify for Navy nuclear field A school (you're likely to end up on a submarine, and it's a six-year commitment, but you should ace the ASVAB no problem, and it's automatic promotion to E-5 on completion), or a similar Air Force program (Army and USMC I'd advise against, unless you have some odd desire to become cannon fodder).

5. Hey- I enlisted, and had a real hoot!
Enlistees can get away with shit officers can only dream about!

Go Air Force.

6. Hey I understand totally.
Like Spider says though, go for that stuff he was talking about.
