(Sorry for any mistakes that I made in this, my native language is not English)

Anyways, I'm really considering joining the Army. Why? Well, that's because the way I'm going through my life right now, I really don't see myself going anywhere were I want be in the future. The place where I live (which is in Puerto Rico), it's really getting hard to live here unless you have a lot of money to live by. It's even being called "The land of the rich". It's hard to find a part-time job around here considering that I have wasted a whole year stuck in the house doing nothing, my mom doesn't have a job, my dad is the only one working to keep this family together, my parents are both separated, but they're living in the same roof together causing me a lot of stress sometimes and problems that have nothing to do with me. I've been through a lot of shit, I even got seduced by a man at a job that I had when I was 17 (luckily, it wasn't to drastic) and I didn't even do anything about it... Basically what I'm trying to say here is that I'm not going anywhere in this life that I'm living.

I'm an 18 year old male, going to be 19 next month, and I was planning on try and take the ASVAB test somewhere around June, if possible. I'm in college now, going to get my final term exams this week, after all that, I'm planning on studying for the ASVAB. It's a really hard decision for me to do because I've NEVER thought of myself going in the Army. I was just wondering if you guys have anything to say about the Army that I should know.

I do know a few stuff, I know a professor, he's retired from the Army, he has made me learn a lot of stuff about it when I was studying computers and IT stuff, and I respect him a lot. He's the last person you would've ever thought of being a teacher, he's crazy, and I'm glad to have met him. I learned a lot of stuff from him, but there's something that keeps bothering me from going to the military... That would be my weight, I only weight around 125 pounds and I'm 18 going to 19 years old. I feel insecure about it because I don't know how I'm going to get through the Basic Training part, I'm really skinny and no matter how much I eat I can't gain weight (stupid metabolism). I'm also probably not physically fit, even tho my teacher told me it doesn't matter, that as long as you have the right state of mind of moving forward, that I can do it. And I totally understand that and which I do have the right state of mind, but still... It's going to be hard.

TLR (lazy bastard...)
Is it worth going to the Army now? I'm not really physically fit for it, I'm 18 (going 19 next month) and I only weight around 125 pounds and I can only do around 50 push-ups which is the only thing I can do right now. All I'm hoping for is to have a new life that I can be happy with and to not regret after going. But I will never know until I try.
