I did. i graduated in '05 though and recruiters harassed the fuck out of me to try to get me to enlist to go die in iraq for lies. called my house all the time, sent me mail, found me in school, etc.

My father was a WW2 hero that spent my late childhood and adolescence trying to interest me in a military career to no avail. His last hurrah was offering me a scholarship to the Air Force Academy that he'd cornered our Senator at a Shriner meeting to secure before making no attempt to sell it to me first. He abandoned my mother and me a week later and I didn't talk to him for 15 years. He and my step-mother are buried at Fort Logan Cemetery.
