Hey /bant;

This may sound really gay but if you happen to be reading this I've got a bit of a story to share

I'll start by saying that my grandpa (died back in '09) was a Vietnam vetran, marine Corp sniper. 69 confirmed kills, complete badass. This isn't gonna be about what he did over there, actually didn't know him very well myself, but it makes me think. It'd be really cool to keep a military bloodline going within my family, but I'm not sure if the military would even take me (or that I'm cut out for it, just the thought of bootcamp gives me chills). Basically, what I'm asking for an opinion. Is this something I should persue, or is this just a romanticized fantasy?
