At the time I was homeless and had no life whatsoever. I honestly wanted to serve this country but was discriminated against. (See my intro for more on my early life)
The bottom line is I would have served this country with pride and I know I would have excelled in the military.
Hear, hear. I would have, too, Ty.

A lot of hard work.
