I am about 2 weeks away from basic and the second thoughts are hitting me really hard. It was dumb of me to not think about these things sooner. I saw the service members who were killed this weekend because some of them were really young and It shook me because that could’ve or could be me. i’m young and have a wonderful wife that i want to spend my life with. I’ve never been more sad and afraid. A lot of my family is military and have been assisting or following my journey so far and i feel like i would be disappointing all of them IF i did quit. Some of them even pulled strings to help me out. my MOS i went with is 42a. i’m just venting and looking for advice from an outside perspective.

i am in dire need of help or advice or just someone who has gone through something similar , i’m in A school it’s been about 2 months of me being here, im still under the 180 days. i saw BH for 3 weeks they didn’t help for shit, got diagnosed with adjustment disorder with anxiety and depression. i made the dumb decision to smoke. (marijuana) and i self referred because i didnt want to pop on a random test, its been 3 weeks since then they made me sign a consent form with legal for the test and provided a urinalysis, it has been radio silent since i haven’t heard anything at all. i just got notified i am being classed up tomorrow which was highly unexpected because i thought it was zero tolerance in the navy? and i’m just wondering why would they put in a classroom. can anyone give me insight.

I’m 24 years old and have a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science. During college, I worked as a lake patrol officer, where I gained experience protecting natural resources and serving the public.

After graduating, I attended the police academy, but I tore my labrum during defensive tactics training. After surgery, I had to pursue a different career path.

Now I’m deciding between Marine Science Technician (MST) and Boatswain’s Mate (BM). I’m passionate about environmental protection, which makes the MST rating especially appealing, but I also enjoy the hands-on operational work and variety that comes with being a BM. The Coast Guard aligns perfectly with my education, experience, and desire to continue serving in a meaningful way. Thanks in advance

I have been reclassed to another ait army I’ve been in over 180days and I want out what do I do
