    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…

      Damn. Do you think if you hadn’t gone early you still would have enlisted?
