I can do algebra and I am very quick at figuring math that is used by a typical person on a daily basis. When I am shopping I can quickly figure out what the discounted price will be when something is on sale and add the tax in my head. (I am a woman) I have a lot of common sense and I have very good at thinking outside of the box. I find loopholes out of things that other people don’t think about or just to scared to try. I am a very good judge of character and intuitive about people. I am not a expert in anything but, I have a very broad general knowledge of a lot of things. I know enough about a lot of things to know if somebody is giving me inaccurate information about something. Each time I have taken a TABE test I have scored the highest possible score in each section. However, I have no skills at math higher then algebra. I can not apply high level maths to anything I need to my survival. I also can not apply any logic to high level maths.
What are good career fields for people like me?
Do people like me typically have good interpersonal skills?
I have been in a relationship for just over a year…we are going through a lot of problems right now…I don’t feel respected…but I also have no self esteem left to get away from the relationship…he knows this…all I do is worry about us and our problems and somedays I know it’s not worth dealing with but I do love him…today for no apparent reason I started thinking to myself..I need to find a hobby…I can’t think of anything else to do but start exersizing and working on building my self esteem…I am what I consider to be VERY over weight…I am 5’5” and about 240lbs…and I know by doing something about myself I would be less apt to let him walk all over me…if I take a brisk walk every day (30-40 min) drink 6-8 glasses of water, eat smaller portions and work out every other day (things I can do at home, I can afford a gym membership), cut out junk food (seems to be the only thing thats makes me happy anymore) will I lose weight or am I wasting my time doing it by myself?

Honestly, it doesn’t have to be Colorado, but Im really looking to relocate somewhere that I can have a scenic view of mountains, rivers,lakes, woods, etc, but at the same time is about 20-40 min outside of the city. Somewhere I can look out at night and see gorgeous star views and where the trees are gorgeously orange, yellow, and green. I know this is a lot, but I really want somewhere I can feel like I’m a survivalist. Alaska, NH, Washington, Colorado, anywhere! Please name a city I can Google. Thank you so much!
I’ve decided to join the military and been gathering as much information as i can. From this information i noticed a lot of opportunities for me in the service but i want to make sure that i don’t go in one bit blind to reality.
So first off, my branch of choice is the Marine. I’ve always been into the law enforcement/Justice/military/war and during my senior year ohigh schoolol i sat down and really tried to find my place in the world. I asked myself, “What am i good at?”, and all i could think of waget inin into trouble and hurtin people. So i started speaking to family and friends from all the military branches and their pride and love for what they do is admirable and some even turned their lives around for the better.
With one foot alrdy in the door and stopped and realized i cant go in blindly like im sure most people do. So as i researched i learned about alot pros and cons, but for me everything was brighter then my current path.
Reconnoissance/Scout Sniper/Pararescue were the 3 specialty jobs that i know would fit me best.(I know these arent MOs’s and are privelages/indoc positions but its go hard or go home)
Went to the local recruiter office and sat down with 1 of the recruiters and listened to his BS for about 30 mins, he obviously was a deskboy his whole life and cared nothing for the upcoming marines futures. But i managed to speak to another recruiter who offered to let me take the ASVAB which i thought could only be taken after paperwork and such. After i took the ASVAB i got my scores with no clue how to read and went right to my recruiter to have him explain it. I scored a 92 and was told that is exceptionally high and would stand with me for 2 years.
I’m starting college in janurary and will be majoring in liberal arts till i decide on a major in engineering or criminal justice. Although i plan of making the military into a career, reality is if i get hurt and can no longer serve, being infantry really isnt much for my resume.
So now to my main purpose/questions,
#1) Although my leadership skills are great i dont want to be an officer, should i take college before the military or in the military or if possible associates before and finish my bachelors inside?
#2) Realistically how much longer and harder is it to get college credits while in the miltary?
#3) What events will i be limited to when it comes to visiting family (Death, Ilnessnes etc.) and will i always be able to be their for my family in emergency cases?
#4) How do i get into military schools such as Marksman School/Survival School/SERE, etc.?
#5) I’ve been long range rifling for about 2 years, with my remington 700 30-06, should i stop to try and drop any bad habits i might of learned since the military will surely teach me how to shoot all over?
There is so much more i’d like to know and say but i’ve asked enough on here, If you have any questions or just wish to help guide me further please email me at

Response to oscar d: If only I were that lucky.
Response to Eric A: The reason I dont want to be an officer right off the bat is because i feel theres so much more for me to gain as an enlisted and alway have the opportunity to be a mustang!
I have tried not to overlook any of the branches but right to my questions.
#6) Either while on active duty or when re-enlisting is moving between the branches possible/common for those who make the military into a career?
#7) If i am injured and cannot serve any longer do i still recieve the intuition money and bonus to school myself or does this void the contract somehow?
#8) Are there any public rifling schools that are military controlled cause i love to shoot but only if im gonna shoot properly?
#9) I’ve only purchased a ruck-pack and been doin 1.5-2mile walks with 25-30lbs in it to strengthin my odd muscles and get used to those nasty shin splints. Is there anything else i can do to put myself ahead of the rest?
