from a military family and I'm going to continue the tradition, not only for them, but to serve my country and challenge myself physically and mentally. My great grandfather was in the Army infantry and so was my father. My great grandfather was in the Vietnam War, and my father was in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

I hoisted the missile launcher onto my shoulder and surveilled the battlefield through the telescopic sight. Infrared imaging revealed an enemy tank concealed amid the landscape. I narrowed the crosshairs around the vehicle and pulled the trigger.

This achievement provided immense satisfaction as I had dedicated the past three months towards renovating the…

Before one is allowed to join the forces, they are tested physically and…
