I wanted to join I went to the recruitment office of all 3 branches at least once a month for 4 years. I got tattoos removed records expunged joined an MMA gym learned all the ranks and bought an ar15 to practice with joined a militia was in 3 years of JROTC learned how to read a map. I studied military history and books. I knew the recruiters by name I got my GED I got a 78 on the asvab. But in the end cry baby little beta cucks got to go but not me. It wasn’t in my destiny I suppose. Oh well. I hate when people thank me for my service and I always have to say I didn’t serve and they look at me and say oh my mistake you look like you should have served. It kills me. Especially when people like Bradley Manning served.
