I almost glossed over and missed this dig from the "oh so many more letters than me" Aelia Jusa

I think Aelia gives pretty good advice though - you want to stay away from the suggestion of it (the job) getting you away from troubles. Focus on the positive aspects - travel definitely - are you likely to beseeing much of the world. Bigger machinery - what sort of work do you think you will be doing? Is this like an enlistment thing - is there a set number of years that you have to sign up for. If so, then it is a chance for you to work on a career whilst having independance and not wasting money on rent and food and electricity and stuff. A chance to do a good job, earn some respect, and to save money towards a house and a future. Tailor things to suit your situation, but anyone showing that they have thought about and are planning their future is someone that will come across as being comitted towards achieving the tasks they will be setting you.
Good luck Lavi ....... and Hello Miss Jusa - how are your 3 months of holidays going
