August 2011
This month is one of the most memorable times I could ever remember. A young, smart, guy like me made a commitment to join the armed forces. I swore into the Air National Guard and made a promise to defend my country with my life. To defend the President whatever means necessarily. It was 4:30 when I hear the alarm go off. I got dressed, ate breakfast, finish packing what I needed in my suitcase and headed out the door. My parents still half asleep as they start the car, wished me good luck and hope that I will make it without any problems. Other than that everything was quiet until we got to the airport. My dad met up with me and my mom and step-dad and we sat around until an hour before my flight arrived. I saw my other friends arrive, Tyler and Jennifer. They had their families with them and they all sat in their spots and said their last words. I saw Tyler cry before he left his family, and then I started to do the same. We all said our last goodbyes and headed through the security checkpoint. The three of us all met up before going through and talked about how Basic Military Training might be. I was nervous, Tyler was excited, and Jennifer was 50/50 about it. We went to the mini store and got some snacks and drinks before boarding the plane. By the time I sat down on the plane, it hit me. That today was the day that my life would forever change. The plane did its final checks and we were off to the heartland of the military....Texas.
Chapter 2 is on the way, hope you liked it so far. Hope everyone has a good night. Be safe.
NIGHT PEEPS!!! <(^.^)>
