Old soldier

"I ship out to Fort Benning as an active duty Infantry rifleman on January
9th. I’ll be 41 in May. I’ve been trying to join since 9/11 but the army
cutoff at the time was 35, and I was already past that. They finally raised
it past my age and I signed up. I’m in the best shape of my life and looking
forward to a most exciting adventure. The idea of serving in an institution
that was once headed by Gen. George Washington is still sinking in."

Bully. Read it all.
