I remember the day like it was yesterday even though it 's been years ago after taking tests and physicals for over a year, staring at Asvab books and laptops that were not mine determining what my life was going to turn into. I then got the best/worst news of my life. I didn 't get accepted into the military, even though it was a huge relief to me I could tell my father was disappointed.
