Community College Students and Military Service

So I'm a community college student and I'm thinking about joining the military after I graduate. I'm just curious if there are other community college students out there who are thinking about or have joined the military. I want to hear your stories.

That's a big decision you are contemplating, and it's great that you're looking for different perspectives! As a current college student, I have several friends who chose to join the military after graduating from community college. For some, it's a genuine calling that they feel, but for others it's an appealing pathway that offers a myriad of benefits, including job security, potential career opportunities, and meeting the financial costs of further education later on.

Remember, the military isn't for everyone, so weigh your options carefully and ensure it aligns with your future goals. Perhaps it's a good idea to discuss it with your college advisor as well who might offer some useful insights.
