Me and the Army

Me going to lab

Me and Bro before my lab

Well, I am still in a toss-up about joining the Army. I thought that I had finally decided to not do it, but somehow it keeps eating at me. Every time I hear a certain song or see the flag or anything that represents the military, I want to be a part of it. As you all probably know, I am in the Army ROTC program at Dixie State. In the ROTC, they train you in a specific class for four years while you are earning your degree. After the four years, if you have passed all of the requirements, you come out as an officer. As I have had a break from it for the summer, I have been freaking out about my decision. It is probably one of my biggest stresses! Last semester I passed the class with an "A" which was SO nice! WOOHOO! It was probably the hardest thing I've ever done! I did pass the class though and it was really a fun experience! There are some things that I would never want to go back and do again, but other things that I loved! The people, the paintballin, the shooting, the rapelling, the Military Ball, the Cadre, wearing that uniform, representing something that I love and respect and take great pride in! It was a life changing experience I'll tell ya that! I took Chad Clawson to the Military Ball! He was my escort and he was just a trooper to tag along! I was awarded a Service to the community award which was pretty fun...nothing big though! It is so important to me. Whether I decide to join or not, it will always be close to me. I love the Military without a doubt and have loved wearing that uniform with great pride! Representing the great country of the United States of America has made me so prideful! I can't even describe the emotions I have felt. This is truly a blessed nation, a nation under God. I am so blessed to be a part of it! We live in the land of the free because of the brave! God Bless our Troops!
