What does it take to get into the military?

To get into the military it's as easy as walking down to your nearest recruiting station pick the branch you want to in and signing the papers saying you will fight to protect and endure the freedom of the United States. They will then tell you your Basic Training Date and when that time comes you will go off to basic after 8 weeks (12 weeks for Marine Corps) then on your final day your Drill Sergeant will say WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES "your branch here".

Not quite that easy anymore, but give it a try.
