Have been asked that many a time so yes you may, and I give the same answer each time. (If this is about boot camp, 
Bring it on!)
Most people go to the armed forces for money and help through college. That's only about 10% of why I'm going. The other 90% is so I can look in the mirror with pride instead of anger and have something for my kids to brag about at school. Also, my mother works in a factory and has said to me that she would work to pay for my college. That's all fine but I would for once like to see my mom keep some of her well earned cash and get the hell out of that factory sooner then in 4 years.
In short: The other branches could handle the money problem but giving me a life worth spending it on and pride in myself, why not go to the best?
