So today I was thinking about my career options after high school, since I have an entire year before I'm even old enough to go on a mission. I thought about how I have a lot of family in the military, and what kinds of people they were and are. My brothers, Michael and Stephan, are both currently in the United States Air Force, and both my grandfathers were previously in the military. I'm proud of all of them for what they've done and what they continue to do, and it occurred to me that I could follow the same path they chose.
My high school has an Air Force JROTC division, and I'm seriously considering joining it for the last two years of high school. I'll have to work my way up to the level of physical training it requires, but it could be incredibly beneficial to me. From what I understand, JROTC will teach me self-discipline, respect, chain of command, physical fitness, and most of all respect and pride for our country. I want to do this for my brothers, but most of all I want to do it for me. I think this is one of the best ways I can use my time in high school, knowing that I only have two and a half years left.
Well, those are my thoughts for the day. I'll try to keep up on the posts more frequently now!
