Military recruiters get your everyday volunteer
to sign a contract of Defense and promise to
assist in fulfi lling each persons ambition to be
trained as an engineer, pilot, doctor, lawyer,
police offi cer, nurse, electronics technicians,
computer analysis, air traffi c controllers, ECT. A
career with the Military offers job opportunities
and education at no cost other than serving
your country for 4, 6, 8, 10 years and more
if those persons wish to retire. Once enrolled
and accepted, you belong to a Government
Family that will come fi rst. Any other family
is secondary. Once in, each recruits life is
changed forever. That person who you knew
prior to signing the contract is now a soldier,
fi ghter, killing machine if necessary before
beginning any career goals. Feelings will be lost
within oneself due to the combat training each
experience.
Its diffi cult to walk away from what could have
been a perfect structured lifestyle. However,

overwhelming for a couple. She has to choose
between he and her or the Military Family that
he is a part of which places its needs before
his and her needs. Although, her decision was
to leave she returns to help others within the
Military Family despite her painful memories.
