and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I had my education prior and ended up in the Air Force basically on a whim. Long story short my roomate at the time was interested in OTS and I needed to go to the mall, so we were rode together he went to the recruiter, I returned a shirt, ended up listening to the recruiter's speech from the other side of a cubicle and next thing you know I was raising my right hand. It was crazy, but an experience I wouldn't trade for the world. Have seen and done things that most people would never imagine. No crazy combat stuff, just really cool travel, breaking bread in remote parts of the world with people that I had absolutely nothing but mankind in common, and providing services that truly humbled me.
