Helps if you have a plan.
A direction in which you intend to travel.
They might not like it but they'll respect it.
....Assuming you're not intending to become a Chippendale !!!

I have a plan. I want to enlist in the US army as an infantryman for about 5 or so years. I want the warrior experience. After that I'll use the GI bill to pay for college, if I even want or need to go back.

But. If that's what you want. Go for it !!
I wish you well .
