would need to with stand war zones and what actually goes on of their. The recruits said not everybody is not military material, but tried to compare me to military personnel and telling me I was, and the coach told me what it takes to actually be a soldier in emotional, physical, and mental strength.

of trust between the Army and the public is of the utmost. A great example of trust dissolving was the Vietnam conflict. Public trust in the political decision making unraveled due to the drafting process, disconnection, and disagreement. Many Soldiers returning home were criticized and scorned for their involvement. It required the Army to make changes to realign with the will of the people we serve. It took nearly two decades to regain the American public’s trust again. On the contrary,…

I’m sharing this aspect of my life because it is unique to me and not many other people have the military as part of their lives.
