Well, what the fuck do you wanna do? Do you wanna be an OPERATOR DOOR KICKING PEW PEW guy or sit at a desk in Colorado doing PowerPoint or fix planes or drive tanks or what?

I was looking at para rescue and it seemed cool but I saw it was special forces and don't know if that's realistic.

Air Force here.
If you wanna be a badass bit aren't hard enough to be pararescue, TacPs are pretty fucking rad. You call in Air strikes and shit and roll with the Army grunts as 'that guy that calls in airstrikes'.
Elijah Walker
pararescue isn't hard?
Would you say I should try to become an officer or enlist first and decide from there?
I'm looking up TacP's right now, thanks

Join the air force and become an officer. Don't listen to any moron who tries to meme you into enlisting or becoming a marine or some shit. People will be mad at their own poor life choices and say shit like "chair force" because they are sad they have to sleep in a tent when you get an air conditioned hotel room, ignore them.
When you're 50 with perfectly healthy knees and back and you never had to deal with the dumpster fire that is the VA feel free to laugh at them

I work with an ex army guy (cav tank mech) and he told me the same

Decide on what you wanna do and which branches have what you want
You better be real fucking set if you're going in as 18x, Op40,forget what the Recon one is, SEAL, etc. 'cause if you're not you're gonna be going into your new unit with low morale for a long stint. Anyway, they're either ruck/orienteering (SF, Ranger) based or swim based (SEAL, PJ)
Maybe do a stint as a grunt (or combat med/corpsman, RTO, etc.) and see if you still wanna kick doors
When I was in Batt the divorce rate was pretty high and with the op-tempo plenty of guys didn't even have girlfriends, they just dicked hamplanets between airfield seizures
Several guys that had the ability to OCS but didn't because they liked being in the shit. Some guys are cut for platoon sergeants and CSMs, others are cut for XO and CO

PJ is swim based? I thought it would be more ruck.
If I did a stint as a grunt would I have to wait until contract change to get a new job?
Should I switch all cardio to swimming if I want to do pj?
thanks

The military will be the gayest four years of your life but it gives you enough resiliency where the gayness of civilian life can't come close to how gay military life is.
>any downsides to military life?
It's different based on each command and each specialty. I'd have a far easier time being a storekeeper on an aircraft as opposed to being a nuke on a sub.
>what branch or training should I do?
What's your ASVAB score? That is the main limiter on what you can do.
I got a 99 and joined naval submarines. WORST CHOICE OF MY FUCKING LIFE.
