The Change of My Life
On May 11, 2006, I made a speraticWW decision that would forever change my life and the way I see life itself. Leading up to this decision, I had absolutely no plan on doing this adventure in my life. But on May 11, 2006, I decided to enlist in the United States Army and become a soldier. Life up to this point was exciting and full of joy due to my participation in school, sports, and hanging with my friends enjoying every day life as an adolescent. I thought I was growing up and becoming an adult when little did I know what was in store for me and my family. The military was about to change my life forever and have a huge impact on what I want to become. Going into the military I thought I knew more about life than what I really did. In basic training I definitely learned the true meaning of becoming an adult or maturing for that matter. Right off the bat I learned extreme discipline, loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. The keys to maturing in life and not taking things for grantedfrag. We trained and became skilled in weapons, tactics, and learned all the basics of being a good soldier. Then right after basic I was ordered to be stationed at Ft. Lewis Army Base in Washington State. This is when the real life changer began. Soon after reporting to Lewis, I was notified that we were on orders to be in Afghanistan in 3 months for a 15 month deployment. Life started to hit me real hard at this point. We started training intensely and got all our ducks in a row to go to war. I knew it was going to be different over there but I had no clue of how or what it was really like to be over at war. War is what changed me and for this I am glad butat the same time I am upset about how much it drained me mentally
