text: i heard about this thing, if u join the army for 2 years, then u get a free college educatuion. advice? wat should i do? i heard the army is good for the experience and will make u a lot tougher. 2 years doesnt seem like that much. so i need help. prefered someone that was in the military. but dont matter the thing about that is that we're at war currently.  you have to decide whether you're willing to be sent into combat in exchange for that education.
