Career talkin' time!

I agree, My entire family has been in the Military sense the beginning of... America I think? The Air Force is a great idea! Especially for a Linguist. My family made great ties to friends and politicial leaders that way too. Justin, I would advise doing exactly what was said above. Talk to an advisor, get a part time job (Or a full job), work out and go to the Collage in Colorado. My family has had great things done to them from entering. I'm even going in myself as an Officer when I get older too.

But, you do need to think this out before you do it.
