I honestly believe it's worth at least trying life in the Army. If you don't like it, you can leave with a story to tell, and you'll have gained some life skills. If you do like it, you'll have a rewarding career that you can be proud of, you'll grow in confidence, find mates for life, and see the world. The army application process is quite unique and it’s an experience in itself. Even if you're unsuccessful you'll have that story to tell and you'll definitely have learned something about yourself. Also, most times, just because you've been unsuccessful doesn't mean you can't try again.

Don't let yourself not take an opportunity because you are scared of failing. You will never know your true potential unless you give something a go.

As a musician, you can always develop. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, you can always grow as a player and a performer.
