US ARMY

            As many of you know already, I have joined the US ARMY, but I haven’t really told anyone why I joined. I live in a house where they are all antimilitary, and everyone in my house wonders why I joined. Everyone at my house says that I will just die for nothing, that I just fight for oil, and that I’m going to be killing small children for no reason. Every time I hear this all I say is none of your business, and because I can.

I joined the military and I am proud of it, joining was probably the best decision I have ever made. I will be leaving for boot camp this summer and I can’t wait for it. I am sad about it, but I am also really excited about it. Reasons why I am sad about it is because I will be going away from the people that I love for a very long time, because I will be going by myself with no one to talk to for months, and because I will get my ass reamed at day after day. Reasons why I am excited to go to boot camp already is that I will be able to get discipline from it, and that I know that I am doing the right thing not just for this lovely country, but for myself, I also know that once I am down there I will grow a lot mentally wise, and that I will be a lot smarter and not like I am right now.

I am happy for making this choice and I have no regrets because I know that I am not just going to waste my life doing nothing, and I am not going to be doing drugs or anything bad that can affect my life later on, and because the army will help me go to college and receive further education.
