USCG DEP to Army

I am 23 years old and I am in the USCG delayed entry program. I originally chose the USCG because of the quality of life. It felt more like I was getting a new job instead of a new life style completely.

However, it has always been a dream of mine to be in the Army since I was a child so wrapping my head around how I ended up in the CG DEP is weird. I always imagined doing infantry and living that life.

The more time I spend in the DEP, I find myself trying to find videos and trainings that have that infantry vibe which makes me question why I am doing the CG. I would want to be an ME and go for TACLET and eventually MSRT. However, I worry that won’t scratch that itch.

Am I crazy for considering leaving for the Army infantry?
