My little sister enlisted yesterday. The little blonde girl I would get into fights with all the time has enlisted with the army. Last week, she wanted to sign up as a sniper. I don't believe in God, but I thank whomever that she signed up as a Lab Tech instead.
She gets sworn in on Monday somewhere between 1 and 4. Right after her physical.
She ships out for Basic June 21, 2014.
I'm scared for that little 17 year old girl. I'm scared for the 6 year old I still remember her as.
It's too late though. Can't take back what you've already promised.
I hope she comes back in one piece. My little sister does not need to be buried before her time.
At the same time, I have high hopes for her. She could be great at this. She'll grow up and be able to stand up to both of our parents and speak for herself. I'm just scared of what she'll see.
