Why I Enlisted in the Army at 29 With a Degree (2026)

Hey, I’m Naj 👋🏾 I’m 29, almost 30, and this video is about why I made the decision to enlist in the military — even with a bachelor’s degree. This is something I’ve wanted to do for years, and I got to a point where I didn’t want to keep wondering “what if.” I also chose to enlist so I could gain real, hands-on experience first and truly understand the military before deciding my long-term path. And honestly, the incentives aligned with where I am in life right now. On this channel, Becoming Naj, I share real life as it unfolds — womanhood, motherhood, marriage, healing, and choosing myself as I step into a new decade. Nothing about this decision was rushed, but it was intentional. If you’re in a season where you’re questioning your next move or thinking about taking a leap, just know you’re not too late.
