I was planning to join the military after high school. It was a 3 hour drive to the closest MEPS (military entrance processing station), so the local recruiters only made the trip out there once a week. I already had my date set when another guy dropped out, so my recruiter asked if I was interested in going a week earlier. I said absolutely, because I was dead et on being in the Army, so what difference did one more week make?
So that’s how I enlisted on Sept 5th, 2001…
I saw one of your earlier posts or comments about that…glad it’s working out for you! I have been tempted to do something similar. I’m practicing leaving my phone at home or in the other room at times I know I don’t need it or really want it. Started running without headphones, too, in a effort to disconnect a little more.
Contemplating a career change, but I don’t know to what…just tired and bored of my current field.
Waterline Stories does good maritime disaster videos, too.
