Never thought I would go through bootcamp‚ I’m not even going to enlist in the military. Well here I am. Packing my sea bag a week before and anxiously waiting for the day to head down to Camp Pendleton in San Diego over winter break.

Once I got to the facility I was

Imagine meeting a person that brought back memories of the worst time in life. Today I met a man named Derek. Derek had an unquestionably horrible attitude‚ so much so it reminded me of a leader that I used to work for a long time ago. At first glance‚ in 2005‚ I was assigned to the United States Army Technical Escort Unit. The unit was undergoing a transformation. My 1SG came to me and asked if I preferred Special Duty as a Drill Sergeant‚ Recruiter or an Instructor. I felt that I did not qualify
