Once you get in the army, its almost impossible to get out on your own terms.

What you, and the OP need to learn is that as long as you are alive, you have the ability to become whatever you feel you can be. My father dropped out of school for about four years after screwing up royally, and became a doctor. It is possible, you have to have the will to succeed, though.

You have to be able to take the criticism. You have to take the dirty hits that people give you. Because if you can trudge through all of it and succeed, all of that criticism becomes invalidated.

get your ged, go to community college, get good grades, then find a way to transfer to a four year college. Keep climbing. you can do it.
