I considered joining the military...... (4846 hits)
Have you ever pondered joining the military? What inspired you to pursue life as a soldier? For me, the whole idea of unity made it appealing.
The year was 2003. I was thirsty to march while singing those cadences. My father a National Guard Soldier planted good seeds in the family due to his military experience.
Physical labor is up my alley, along with structure and team work. So I started researching which division would fit me best. After speaking to my father, he advised I enlist in the Air force, if at all.
The friends I new who joined talked to me and it was from those discussions I realized I was not meant to enlist.
However, I do carry on the traditions instilled in me from my father. I do stand tall like a Soldier. And I do salute those who exemplify honorable duties.
Our family use to enjoy shrimp dinners at the Base each Christmas with other military families. Santa Claus would pass out mini candy canes and joy filled the air.
As the daughter of a Veteran, I am proud to uplift all Veterans on this 2015 Veterans Day!
