I'm stuck on what to do, can anyone help?

I'm about to enter 10th grade and right now I'm stuck between becoming an elementary teacher or enlisting in the military. I'm in EdRising for becoming a teacher and in the NJROTC program at my school to seek a path in the military. I honestly don't know which to choose, if anyone from any pathway can give me suggestions or feed back it would be greatly appreciated.

Transferring from one military branch to another?

Hi, I am currently serving in the Virginia Army National Guard. I joined the Guard because it offers substantial money for education, allowing me to serve part-time while pursuing my degree without incurring debt. I am nearing the completion of my community college education and have clear goals for my future military and civilian careers. I intend to complete at least one active duty contract in order to pass down the GI Bill benefits to my children. Following this, I aspire to join the Marine Corps and serve at least one active duty contract with them. While I am not looking to pursue a long-term active duty career at this time, I am committed to serving in a way that supports my educational and professional aspirations. Could you provide guidance on how to transfer to the Marine Corps at the end of my current contract without experiencing a break in service? Additionally, would it be more advantageous to go active duty Army instead? After completing my active duty contract, would I be able to transition back to the Army National Guard without a break in service to continue serving to then begin my civilian career? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am a sophomore in high school, and I am trying to figure out whether I should join the military through West Point as some sort of avionics or computer officer, or if I should become a chiropractor through Palmer in Davenport?

My dad was a mechanic in the military, and I respect him so much for it. I want to be like him; however, I am also considering being a chiropractor. My parents prefer me to be the latter. I want to have a large family, and I appreciate the fact that the military will pay for some of my kids' college education. I know West Point is free and I get an allowance, but because my dad was in the military, i get most of my tuition paid for for whatever college I decide to learn at.

Can a 37yr old mom join the military to become a CRNA?

Hello! I am 37-year-old single mother to 3 teens. One is enlisted in the Navy and the other 2 are home (will be having a family plan in place for bootcamp and deployments). I have an Associate's Paralegal degree and am working in criminal defense. I am looking into changing my career into Nursing and utilizing the military to assist in getting me into Anesthetics. I think I have a lot of options to consider and am curious about a few things. I wanted to enlist out of HS but started our family early; is it frowned upon (in the military) having someone come in later in age? Is there one preferred branch that would be most beneficial for my goals? Would it be better to join the reserves, get my BSN during that contract or get by BSN prior to enlisting or something completely different? The recruiter with the Navy we worked with for my son didn't seem to have much knowledge regarding my son's future outside of the basics of signing up and what to expect during bootcamp so I don't think I can reach out to him for this advice.
