Military possiblilities in my future... hmmm

What are you doing with the rest of your stuff?

Going into the military is not a decision to be taken lighlty. It will have implications beyond anything you can probably imagine. My recruiter truthfully answered every question I asked him, I just had no idea when it came to the correct questions to ask (That being said, I enjoyed my time in the service and if it hadn't been for the collapse of the Soviet Union I probably would've been in longer). In the grander scheme of things "What to do with my guns?" is not really such a huge thing.

I would blast a lot of ammo, clean thoughroly, clean again and store in locked cabinets with the rest of my stuff. By the time you complete training and get your orders to your permenant duty station you will have different perspectives and know better what your options may be. If you clean your firearms well and store them properly they will last until you can make an informed decision on what to do with them.

Gentleman, please remember this is a firearms forum, not a career advice forum.

Keep the focus of this on the firearms. If you want to discuss opinions on the military, there are forums for that elsewhere.

There is no reason for you to enlist. Don't.

As an officer, you will have a branch, not an MOS.

If you rent or have a mortgage, keep your place, for the time being. Be sure you have insurance (I have a valuable personal property rider on my USAA renter's), and that your firearms are securely stored. You will be paid a housing allowance based on your zip code. SHOULD you store some guns, and then deploy, as long as you have notified your storage company that you are a deploying service member, they are not allowed to sell your stuff should you fall behind in payment.
