Oh boy. I hope you know what you signed up for. My uncle is in the army and I've only been able to see him 2 times this whole year because he's been deployed so many times.

Best of luck and if someone starts shooting at you, call in the plains and GTFO!!!!!!!

How the hell do you call in a plain? lol

A lot of my friends joined the military, a couple airforce, couple marine corps, a couple navy, and a couple army. They all seem to love it. Best of luck to you man.

So, what to do with the sign up bonus?

+1 on Ducati. But then again you buy a vehicle with your heart, not your head.
