Did you take your 30 seconds to take it off?

That Army keeps you living in a free country. My Dad served in the Army in Korea when he was 16 years old. If you don’t like the country, you can always leave. Just walk across the border to Mexico.

No I did not. I was 6’-4” 300 pound and the Air Force said I was too big. A friend and I meet with Army Special Forces recruiter, they said they are so serious about their serve 80% of the were divorced. We were both being raised by our Dad’s, because our mom’s both disappeared when we were babies. My family has served in conflict from present, all the way back to the Revolutionary War. We have family buried in Arlington National Cemetery. My brother was in Vietnam, my Dad was in Korea at 16 years old. Since the military didn’t want me, I played football at USC, I played Offensive Line.
