especially for something like law that they're not paying for training

Every man in my fam was army except my dad

I feel like I should

If you aren't going to be your best - find where u can

I didn't go to an academy

there were very limited aviator seats

they really wanted me to go nuke, but I have no interest getting on a boat designed to sink

what you're looking at is totally different

Yeah 2000-today - yikes

USCG is awesome IMO
