I [i]almost[/i] joined, but my father talked me out of it. The recruiter thought I was a boy, and called my house and talked me into joining. I actually went and had the physical. My Dad was army, and I really admired him.

@4meAndyou I left for boy camp on my 17th birthday but I did not encourage my two boys. The youngest got all signed up and backed out. I even got him authorized to take not camp at Parris Island, we're from Texas he would have gone to San Diego. But he backed out. Which was ok by me since Iraq was an illegal way I think. The military followed orders. The politicians are at fault. thx for reading

@kentex35 No problem. I tend to agree that there was something funny about Iraq.
