Citizen living abroad wanting to join Navy.
I'm 25F and currently reside in Trinidad and Tobago. I've traveled to America a few times for vacation (Florida) as an adult but never lived in the US and I was born in Brooklyn.
Honestly, I've wasted alot of years since I graduated high school. I have no qualifications or work experience and I would classify myself as someone who grew up spoiled and never had to really work for the things I need. My parents have taken care of me and I developed a terrible habit of lying to them profusely about college and jobs.
I've never been someone who had a passion or a dream career. I was okay at school, never got into any trouble with the law and barely went out. I don't socialize with people my age, I spend alot of time online and I feel very stuck and stagnant where I am.
Recently had a sit down with my mother and confessed to everything and obviously she's disappointed and heartbroken but she's also retired and fed up. The last thing she told me, two days ago, was to come up with a plan for my life because she can't do it for me.
I have no plan. I have no dreams. I have no aspirations. I have no qualifications post-highschool. Truly, on a bad day, I wish I didn't exist but I couldn't imagine doing that to my mom.
This feels long winded and I'm rambling but I went online and tried to find a community of people similar to myself and it lead me to the possibility of joining the military.
More specifically, the Navy. I want to give my life a purpose and not just feel like I'm going through the motions anymore. I'd like help in finding a recruiter or just someone that could give me any helpful advice as I have no idea what else to do.
I have my SSN, my passport and birth certificate. What would be some next steps? Is it possible?
Any help is welcomed, thank you.
