The Military

So in the past two weeks, i have decided that i'm going to join the military. Its a very big decision and frankly i still dont know if i can really do it or not. But i have 4 days to decide. I first got caught by an Army recruiter in school on my way to my locker and asked me if i was interested in joining the Army. I first said that i wasnt but then he asked why... and well i guess my reason wasnt good enough because he convinced me that i should get more info on it and atleast take the ASVAB to see what jobs i might apply for.

Well, i went to take the test and i passed and will be ranked as an E1. That of course is what every soldier goes in as. But i'm going to be going into the Army Reserves and dont have to do active duty. I'll also be going through National Guard so i'll eventually rank as a Cadette. I would first off leave in september for basic training which is stressing me out the most. If i dont know whats going to happen i dont usually do it. I learn to expect the unexpected, but if its unexpected, im not really expecting it. Get it? kinda? well thats how i feel about it. I live by routine, which is actually an advantage for me as that basic training falls in the category of a routine event. Basic training is really stressing me out because i dont know if i can get myself in shape enough to make it through.. If i were to fail basic training i wouldnt be able to get my self-esteem intact again... like theres really any there, but thats besides the point.  I'd really like to hear from everyone what they're opinion is and what i should do to help myself prepare.
