To be perfectly honest, I know what I would be getting into. The fuck ton of bull shit just comes with the job. But at this point in life, I am already used to life giving me the proverbial shaft. And even though I know I only have an idea of what it would truly be like, I honestly find it exciting. But as far as being deployed? That's something I am OK with. Not because I want to see war. I don't, and no body should want to see it. However, I have spent the last 8 years as a civilian. And I've had some great times. But there's men and women over there who haven't been home in some time. I would trade spots with them in a heartbeat. Not just because I like to think of myself as a nice guy. It is actually kind of personal. I lost my mother last year to cancer. I spent 25 years with her. I may not be able to show her myself in uniform physically, but I still can ya know? And since losing her, I have been encouraging others to spend more time with their mother's before time makes a fool of us. And no, I am not considering this option because I want to prove anything to her or anyone. Quite simply, the life of a solider seems exciting and fulfilling to me. And ultimately all I want in life is to say that I actually did something worthwhile with it. Even if it's just giving someone an opportunity to come home and see their family. So you ask me if being a solider seems to be something I want? I would have to say yes sir. With all my heart. And I can tell you, you wouldn't find someone more dedicated than I am right now. If I make it to be an old man, I don't want to look back on a wasted life. As I said, I want to be able to say I've actually done something with my life.
