Hey all,
In 2020, and certainly more so in the the next few years, current conflicts are dying down. Growing up post 9/11, I guess I took it for granted that there would be a war going on when I joined up. What avenue I am planning to pursue in the military has been impacted by the reality that I would would be joining a relatively peactime military. Unless things change shortly.
I am happy to go into the specific units/branches I am considering, if requested. For the sake of clarity, I kept it in general terms for the following:
There are some units that seem appealing during peacetime, less than they would during wartime. And vice-versa. Should I make my decision based off of the current peacetime environment?
There is also the quote, I'm paraphrasing, "Get to the best unit you can, as soon as you can." This route would be to join the unit I would most like to go to war with.
I hope I articulated that well enough, let me know if I should elaborate further. Summing that all up, I guess it would: peactime vs wartime, what unit should I join based off of that?
I am struggling to decide which is the best avenue to pursue, or which is the correct mentality. The military's job is to fight wars, but the reality is I might not to get to do my job. Thank you for your input.
Side note: Or are there still combat operations going on in different places around the world for the foreseeable future? If you are allowed to mention it.
