Be proud of your unit, be loyal to your State/Commonwealth and the Nation, and know this is something much bigger than you. I hope being a soldier really gets into you, heart and soul.
I was born with that Pride and Love for Country! I am very Proud to, at long last, Serve my country. My Unit Commander doesn't yet know what to do with me, as I have had so MANY jobs in the past. Metal fabrication, Driver, {cabs, trucks, vans, buses}, Locksmith Instructor, Minister, {Chaplain Svcs?}, Banking equipment. As far as our uniforms, ALL of it comes out of our pockets. Fortunately, I can get the Class A, next to nothing. The BDUs and boots on the other hand, I am going to have to find someone in supply that can possibly swing some type of trade. {Hmm... anyone want to trade a claymore or Dirk for some BDUs and boots?}
