At 37. (National Guard)
Nearly twenty years ago, I joined the Air Force and quit during basic training. Its something I have regretted for most of my life. Ten years ago, I tried to join the Navy, but was laughed out of the recruiting office.
A few months ago, I decided to give it one more try. I scored a 95 on the ASVAB, went on a diet, and lost 30lbs to pass the physical. I had to include three character references.
All the documentation went to Army brass to see if they'll grant me a waiver. Even after all these years, I have this burning feeling in my gut to serve. I *want* to serve my country.
The reason I guess I mentioned this on the board because even after this loss to UNC normally I'd drown my sorrows with Johnny Walker Black. Instead I am putting my shoes on and putting in some road work. Havent drank in three months. Or had soda.
Anyway, I know it sucks we lost, but there is still things to enjoy other than mediocre Hurricane football. Even if I dont get a second chance; I will keep endeavoring to make myself a better person.
I hope this finds you all well tonight.
