The Engineer

Not a recruiting call but if you’ve never served (especially men) — you should. You might even be able to find a 1 or 2 year contract. A handful of my closest friends I grew up with joined — at times when Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom were at their peak. Men used to want to test their mettle. I bet some of you out there want to. Some of you think you may have missed the opportunity — maybe. But you can join pretty late these days — you’d be surprised. If you do, I guarantee you’ll have days where you’ll think “what the hell did I sign up for?” Your first day (to be precise) and many days beyond that. But once you’ve served — even if just for a little while (honorably of course) — you’ll get to say you know what it’s like. What it’s like to march and shoot guns, and be challenged, and be terrified, and earn stripes. You’ll know what it’s like to know you have what it takes. Again, not a recruiting call — but maybe helpful to someone out there on the fence. It’s an appropriate day to think of service. To all my brothers and sisters who did answer our nation’s call… Happy Veterans Day 🇺🇸 Thank you for serving and enduring. To those who support us… God bless you and God bless 🇺🇸
