Should I join the Navy? Why or why not?
My name is Jessica I’m a 29 year old female and I have 3 kids all under the age of 6. My 6 yr old is staying with a relative to go to a good school district so I don’t have guardianship of her but I have my two boys (2yr. 4yr) I am married but the relationship isn’t good and I’m leaning towards divorce but He is a good father. He has said he would watch the kids while I went to basic training if that’s what I decided to do. Ihave had a horrible life growing up so I don’t have a lot of options, resources or support. Joining the military is something I 100% WANT but it’s also my only option to make something of myself also. I have no legal charges or anything I don’t get into trouble. I tried going back to school but due to a turbulent life growing up I found myself homeless at 18 when I first started college and they failed me for all classes I didn’t attend and dropped my GPA so I no longer get financial aid and would have to pay out of pocket for it. Ihave 8 days to drop my classes or try to file an appeal with The Board Of Education (I’ve tried before and they denied me and I have 30 days for them to reach a decision) I don’t have 30 days to wait I only have 8 and it’s a gamble if they will accept the appeal or not. I’m leaning more on joining the Navy, but I’m sure it has its price as well. Any advice or anything that can help is greatly appreciated. Idk what to do with my life but I want better! If you have joined with kids please let me know what the hardest part was or what challenges nobody told you about. Thank you anyone and everyone who responds!!!!!
