In my thirties. Felon. Unacceptable tattoos. Wrecked body from extreme sports.
Tried to sign up 3 times between 17 and 19. Had a ship out date for after high-school. Took my tests. Ready to go. I wad on probation and as soon as I got off was right after high-school and I never made it off. Drugs and bullshit and senseless crime. Grew up in a patriotic house hold family served
Now I get emotional all the time when I think about it and I deeply regret it. I don't think anyone around me in my life takes it serious. Most people probably would judge me for feeling this way because I chose to fuck it up even if by accident. I chose drugs over the military. Now I'll never feel the pride of serving the nation that has given me every chance I need to build a new life that I have.
Is there a way a man who's country definitely doesn't want involved to become invovled? I need a way to give back and help either indirectly or directly
