almost everything has been positive since ive joined 10 years ago. The military takes great care of you and allows you to pursue a exciting cereer at the the same time. Im a Army Diver so it never gets boring. If any questions email me at kanoa700@yahoo.com. Good luckWhat positive change has happened to you since joining the military?Well I never would have learned Arabic if it weren't for the Navy, so I'm glad about that. It also forces me to exercise and be able to run 1.5 miles in 13 min which I would never do if I weren't in the military. The military is a good deal especially since they'll give you a retirement check for the rest of your life if you serve 20 years. Tell me another company that will do that for you!What positive change has happened to you since joining the military?
Leadership abilities.

Ability to get out of my comfort zone... and survive.

The ability to see that sometimes life really sucks - and be able to not only deal with the suck, end up succeeding.

Realization that there are different people and cultures in the world - and some fantastic food!!



I am also MUCH more mature than I used to be.
