Take Care was a good album.
Raiders of the Lost Ark was a good movie. That's all you need to know.

I don't know, but I bet it doesn't start with asking a video game message board.

You don't in such a fictional manner.
But in the real world it takes years of study and field work, but with enough hard work, passion for your chosen area of expertise and talent you can achieve some semblance of that globetrotting, adventuring ideal that you strive for.
Take Dr Jago Cooper for example;

Most recently traveled throughout South America for his Lost Kingdoms of South America series and just last year fronted a documentary about Easter Island.
Watch this documentary. Does it invoke something in you? Then pursue a career in archeology. Sounds easy, but it's not, believe me.

There is a lot of unexplored former coastline that was inhabited and is now underwater. You should specialize in something, like ancient seafaring techniques so you can write a grant to conduct a comprehensive meta-analysis of current research compiling these techniques from different peoples through time.
Financing youradventures studies is the challenge. Indiana Jones would probably be on an INTERPOL wanted poster.

Start killing hundreds of people and then make jokes over their dead bodies. But if at a museum, only use darts.
Wait...you are serious? You realize in real life this job is not glamorous at all and is mostly 60 year old college professor types dusting old broken pots?
Sounds like a really solid plan. Everyone knows that archeology is full of the same excitement depicted in hollywood movies and video games.

Have you really never heard of Uncharted? On a video game forum?
That is because they don't have the drive nor the funding.

in real life you'd die like three days into your career.
Then how do you know they are real?
The exciting archaeology adventure stereotype all originated in 1981 with Raiders of the Lost Ark, everything since has been a take off on that. And Lucas who created the character said he realized archaeology is nothing in the slightest like what Indiana Jones is.
This idea of yours of going off on adventure after the Special Forces has no basis in reality...
