3. Agree with someone that previously mentioned it: Join the Navy.
4. Create a blog of your travels (it can be a closed blog so only your friends/family can see it) - obviously you can just use FB instead.
1. I might do that closer to the time before I go to basic. Not in a hurry as of now.
2. It's an option but I will just have to compare ticket prices before having a solid decision.
3. Not going to join the Navy. I've already committed 6 years to the NG (minimum required for NG) and if I wanted to join the Navy I would have to go through Navy BT and AIT for a new Navy MOS.
4. Definitely wanted to do this! Brainstorming some ideas but I would want it to be public. Allow people to see the things I've experienced so they will make a bigger push themselves to explore the world.
