I decided to join the military for many reasons. One is because of my family. My dad used to be in the Navy and my uncle was in the army as well as my boyfriend. The main reason I decided to join was because I want to help people. I feel a sense of pride being able to serve my country. Even if not everybody knows what I will have done, I will, and thats good enough for me. So why did you join?

I wanted to get away from my family, but more than that I wanted to better myself.

One of the reasons I decided to enlist in the Army, I wanted to mature, travel, learn a skill, continue my education, do things that bullies in my neighborhood would be scared to do, a big part of tradition in my family, just to name a few.

When I figured out that I wasn't good to play football at Auburn I started thinking about the military.

I really had no choice my life up until that time was pretty much wasted'heavy drinking ,badly educated (my fault) street corner punk with a succession of low paying going nowhere jobs ,all in all one sorry son of a bitch, all of this at nineteen,a quitter, loser,so enlisting was a life saver for me,literally.

Two uncles had served during WWII, and one served during Korea, plus I wanted something a little different in my life to do.

We have always served since 1627 and even earlier depending on which family line you check. I also wanted to be just like my dad, but I never quite made it to his level.
