Joining the military
"What's up bro? What grade are you?" A man dressed up in a military uniform approached Steven, waiting for his ride, one day. "Oh no!" Steven thought to himself. He was about to graduate in a month and about to go to one of the top schools in Hawaii, Hawaii Pacific University (H.P.U.), to pursue his degree in business administrations. He wanted nothing to do with the military. What he wanted was to graduate, go to college, and get a good job, do what normal people do. What he did not know was that this would be just the beginning of what would make his military career and how good of a life he would have from being in. Steven and the man, which he later found out was a recruiter, talked for several minutes and before Steven knew it, he had an appointment to meet with the recruiter at his office in town. The man left as Steven was picked up by his bus. When he got home, Steven talked to his parents about the recruiter he met and his appointment the following day. As far as both of his parents knew, they knew absolutely nothing about the military except for World War II and Vietnam. Still, Steven's parents were supportive, to look at his options, and dropped him off at his appointment the following day.
"Free college tuition?" Steven exclaimed. He found out what it was like in different places rather than his own small town. It was similar to ordinary schooling except the students and staff wore uniforms and kept their military bearings. The teachers had to make sure each student knew their job well and did everything to perfection. Steven did not really have any set goal for himself but he knew he did not want to be shooting a man or playing dodge the bomb. In school, Steven learned his trade quick. As soon as graduation was over he was shipped to school. A week later, Steven signed to join the Air Force. There was absolutely no fun or freedom in B. Steven made many new friends that came from all over the country.
