I came in the military in 1989, and it was because of my late dear mother. She said simple words," just make something out of yourself". I feel this was the most inspiring words ever spoken to me in my life. You go through trials and tribulation and the military is no exception. Sound off RP and voice your thoughts and words of encouragement.

For me it is Jesus Christ, my faith is important to me and I have had a personal experience. Not to sound too religious here! But what He has done and said has had a huge impact on me. One of the biggest things is to love everyone as myself, including to lay my life down for people. He epitomized selfless service and putting others ahead.

Of course less than a year later my dad caught her cheating, so she also showed me what a hypocrite is. Lol
