How about two things?
On a day in the early spring of 1995, I was sitting at home watching the movie Jacob's Ladder, it was during the watching of this film that I KNEW for certain that I would enlist in the military and go in the Army. The next day I walked into a recruiters officer and said I wanna go in the Army. I signed up, and within 8 or 9 months I was living in the desert, on deployment.
From civilian to soldier...
And recently, the night of 10/4/08, totally hammered with the room spinning and my life spinning out of my control; the night I decided that I would make an attempt to quit drinking the very next day. So far so good, it's been just over a year and that, along with enlisting, were two of the biggest and best choices of my life, both of which changed me big time as a person.
From drunk to sober...
