My First Military Experience The date was September 23rd 2003. I was leaving my home for the first time; I had been dreading the unknown of entering basic military training for months. I knew difficult challenges would lie ahead‚ but little did I know what changes were about to become of me in my first military experience.

As much as I was tried I was still excited to shoot my first duck. I rolled out of bed and at a quick snack. As I was eating I heard the roar of a motor. My Dad was

The multiple layers of clothing could not protect me against the swish of frosty air. The walkway leading up to the helipad was newly paved; I could still feel the soles of my shoes sink into the cement just a little as I walked up the path. It’s ironic how my heart did the exact same thing. It now felt like it was forcibly pressing against my lungs as I struggled to breathe; asphyxiated
