I was in the same boat as you were in in 1979. The difference was, that I was about to flunk out of college. That difference taken into account, and realizing that these are totally different times, I joined a unit in 20th Group, was a Rep 63 and off I went. The military gave me a whole lot of what I call the intangibles, such as discipline. The intangibles helped me when I returned and got my degree. My advice to you would be go for it. You will not always be at an age to do the 18X pipeline or have the motivation to do so. As for success in the 18X program, having street smarts and the ability to read people help as much as possessing super intelligence. Hope this helps you and good luck and God bless you.
