Then I can apply to West Point again and get into the prep school since they don't uphold the same medical standard. UD is a good school but I personally don't like it nor delaware itself. I'm still waiting to hear back from VMI to see if I can go there depending on how much it costs edit: Forgot one. University of Houston fucked up my application so I'm still waiting on a decision. If I choose them then I can go there since they're pretty cheap, it's in a city I like, and my oldest sister is moving there too Help me find something to do. I feel so empty at the moment.

MisterXiado 06/04/19 4:52:23 PM #4:	If you're thinking about military service, first spend at least six months training and getting fit so basic doesn't beat you to death. Focus more on endurance training than gaining mass. Dense muscle is treated like fat in their outdated weight guidelines. Having a STEM degree, that is electronic engineering, my recommendation would be to learn a trade, or some skill that's truly in permanent demand in places you would like to live. That doesn't mean work as a phone slave in a call center, as the only reason they're always hiring is because the job is absolute hell. --- The More You Know <cite>MisterXiado posted [p:922787970] in Help me de...
