Who Influenced You To Take The Oath And Join The Military? - Login & Share to Win!

Me, myself, and I.

The local draft board. I didn’t want to get drafted so I joined. Best thing I have ever done.

Everyone in my hometown who didn't have a dream to see the world.

Vietnam. I joined the Coast Guard for 4years (instead of 2 if drafted). Still went to Vietnam!!

Since Kindergarten, I’ve always wanted to be a US Marine. My uncle Noah Sauvé, was in the Carlson Raider team. He was my family’s hero, he was a Marine. When he saw me in my dress blues for the first time, he cried.

No one I was drafted in the army, but I like it and I ending re- enlisted again and again.

I wanted to from the 9th grade and signed up during my Senior Year with my parents signature. Less than a year later I was in Basic Training. Have never regretted it!

My parents influenced me to join the military

I always knew I'd join the military. My father was in the Army Reserves but never talked with me about joining. His only requirement when I joined was NOT joining the Army, so I joined the USAF. My recruiter did more for me to join than my did; he took me to get my driver's license. I used his own truck for my driving test while my dad was at work.

Sgt. George Taylor who played on our softball was my recruiter stationed on Fordham Road in the Bronx
