I started college at 16 and received an AA at 18. I was in National Honors Society (looks good for colleges and commissioning) I'm currently in tech school. I'm currently a white rope (leadership position), but I'm roping out and I received a Letter of appreciation (looks good on your military record). I've been in the stock market for a while but I haven't lost any money so far. I've made 80 dollars so far and I'm still planning onto investing. Also, here's my pic of my body.

A little bit of back story. I planned on joining the U. S. Army after high school and get into real estate after my service, but things happened with my mental health which lead me to drop out of high school and lock myself away in my room for the past couple of years. It kills me that I fell so far off track.

Recently I've decided that it's better to regret being late than regret not doing it at all, so I'm turning my life around. I'm 22 now and just got my first ever job at Lowe's working part-time. I'm not planning to move out of my parents soon (I'll get to that), instead I want to put most of my money into fixing my parent's house which just turned 100 years old.

I'm planning on joining the army in 2 years (at 24). I'm giving myself 2 years to prepare myself by losing weight, getting into the best shape of my life, learning about what I'm going to do in the army, and getting my GED. I've already joined an MMA gym and I'm getting my driver's license in June.

While serving in the Army I want to take real estate classes, investment classes, and get a real estate license. I'll maybe invest in real estate while in the Army if I have the opportunity, but I'm sure that I'll invest my money into something.

After my service, I want to be a full-time investor investing mainly in real estate, and hopefully have my own real estate company one day.

This is just the plan I've come up with. It could change. It really depends on what happens when the time comes.

When I was in high school, I was planning on joining the military after graduation and becoming a real estate investor during or after my service. But things happened in my personal life that caused me to drop out of high school and lock myself away for the last 5 years, and it kills me.
So I've decided that it's better to regret joining late than regret not joining at all. I'm going to spend the next year or two losing weight and getting in the best shape of my life. I want to join the military to better myself as a man, do something extraordinary in my life, meet new people, and enjoy my younger years to make up for my missed childhood. But I don't know if I should join the Army or the Marines.

About the Army. They have better equipment and better living quarters. They have more free time so I can take real estate classes, get my license and maybe even invest while I'm serving. I also feel like I would be able to socially adapt better in the Army as an older recruit since I'll be 23 or 24 when I enlist.
The big downside of the Army is how their standards have tanked. They got rid of the shark attack in BCT and I've heard that trainees can have stress cards. I see people in the Army who are fat, dumb or both, and I wonder if they're just letting ANYONE enlist. I often wonder why the Army can't be held to the same standards as the Marines.

About the Marines. I like how absolutely badass they are and I want that challenge. They do what they're afraid of because they're afraid of it, and they're the first ones into battle. I also like how they use land and water, I've been swimming for as long as I can remember. The Marines can really help me better myself as a man.
The downsides of the Marines are they have less free time even working on weekends, so I probably won't have time to work on my real estate career. I might not be able to join the Marines with a GED anyways.

This is just what I see from the outside looking in.
