At the age of 16 you have alot of maturing to go through til adulthood which means you feel like this today but in a few years who knows what you may want to do. Take life one day at a time and do your best today and every day forward.
The infantry is a great and noble career choice, the branch is full of warriors due to the fact that the the job of infantryman exists for one purpose. A good infantryman makes a great Green Beret since they have had the tactical mindset beat into their heads 24/7
Do you really understand what Altruism is?

Altruism to me is to help someone without expecting anything in return. The story of Superman is a good example of this, even though he's a fictional character, I always found it noble how he would save people's lives while putting himself in danger.
Update: I got 18 semester credits, so I'm a "tier-1" applicant. My enlistment papers are finished, but I took the ASVAB two years ago, so I have to retake it. My scores were fine though. I'm slacking physically, I can reach the minimums to get in, but I feel like I won't be able to keep up my strength while in basic training, so I want to exceed the minimum scores by a fair margin. I'm sure I will be ready by the time I'm out of the delayed entry program - this is so I can reach the minimum age requirement for my 18x contract - and ship out.
As for everything in my original post, my recruiter says I'm fine. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice a couple years ago, I wish you all the best.
