lil hunter Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 In the past couple years, I have never really known what I wanted to do after graduation. I always figured I'd go to college, just because I knew it was pretty much necessary these days. Still though, I didn't know what I wanted to study, or where I really wanted to go. The military has always been on the back of my mind, but I never really pursued it at all. Sunday I went to see 3 of my buddies leave for boot camp, and for whatever reason I really wished I was going with them. After thinking real hard about it, researching and talking to the recruiter for the past couple days, I finally made the plunge and enlisted this morning. I couldn't be happier right now. It's really something I've always wanted to do, just never had the guts to do it. Unfortunately for you guys, I don't leave for Paris Island until November, so you will have a few more months of putting up with me before I leave.
