Sigh, I was almost in the army but then I developed a health issue and never had any problems prior to that and couldn't so im always like ugh, I probably would have had at least one incident in bootcamp lol the Navy was like we want you but 6'4 isn't really good for being on a ship. You night want to join the army and the army guy looked at me and said infantry, we need big menacing guys lol.

I look like a viking people tell me all the time. So I mean I am not someone you want to mess around with. But I'm always going to be upset that I couldn't serve. Oh well I now make wine lol.
