So what are you trying to say. That you are breaking your OSUT contract with the Army? Under what conditions did you tell the Army that would allow them to let you break your contract?

| HMMMM, a couple thousand dallar scholarship or tens of thousands of dollars G.I. bill, plus real life world experience. Yeah I would go for the sholoarship too, NOT! I don't know what the problems are at home, and don't really want to know, but you can't let them get in the way of your future. You need to talk to your recruiter. I had personal problems that at 18 I thought were the end of the world too, my recruiter helped me thru them. You are definately going the wrong route on this. I hope you serioulsy reconsider.

Ok, how can you get out before you ever get in? its great that you want collage but this is the cross roads they always talk about in life. Make the choice a careful one there young man. Personaly, there is no better school then the one of HARD KNOCKS and no better teacher then an NCO. Yes now that I am out I wish I had more schooling, but I am using my GI bill for that. But I would trades those 12 years of expericance for anything in this world becides my children.

Congratulations on your scholarship!,I don't understand how you can get out of your contract either,while your report date is only 2 months away.Either way it's your life,and only you can make your life's decisions,Good Luck with whatever you do.
The First thing I'll discuss are the five points of performance

Metal, glad to hear you got a Scholarship.
Sorry to hear about your decision to pull out of your enlistment.
Although I never fully enlisted when I was 18. (Took ASVAB filed paperwork and etc etc.) I too decided to put it off for what I thought would only be a year or two. And long story short, I'm 24 now, and just learned that my C waiver was denied. That's two no go's. At 18, I did'nt need a waiver for anything. But I had a great paying job, and let the money and partying cloud my decisions. For which I regret. Understand one thing Metal, you have the chance, to go in now. Free and clear. You may not have that option 4 years from now, or even a year from now.

1. Congrat's on the scholarship.
2. I don't remember the Army really making time for ANYONE to go to college.
3. The military is only a good experience for someone who's "into" it, so don't feel bad if you really don't want it. Most don't. It takes a specific demeanor to live a military lifestyle, even for just a few years.
4. You get ONE life. Live it your way when you can, because THAT isn't all that often anyway.
