It just seems like it would be a tough life even at 17, and you’d have to be gung ho to be able to get thru it and bear it even at that age .. at 35, most of us are a little too used to comforts and conveniences and it would be hard to imagine being gung ho enough at 35 to put up with all the military grunt BS.. but to each his/her own .

I see what you are saying, but me personally, I am confident that I would fare much better at my current age (also 35) than I would have at age 17 or 18. No way in hell I would have subjected myself to that, much less lasted. I was lazy, entitled, and only cared about partying, concerts, and girls. I was pretty out of shape, and did not enjoy exercising and working out.

I am much more suited, physically, and mentally, at age 35 to jump into something like that.

I don't know what your current profession is, but unless you have a serious, professional career, then I say go for it. Its a pretty safe move from a career aspect as opposed to a lot of career changes people attempt to make, and if you don't do it, you'll probably end up regretting it.
