Do you think I am going about this the right way?
I’m not sure ....would you be purely trying to go military to eventually go civilian ? Bare in mind the propensity of our leaders to get us involved in wars . Why is self funding out the question ? Go modular , get a reasonable job, save up....like I did.
Its not all spoilt rich kids ( although there’s a few around )
