Actually see that is where u are wrong. I didnt join the military for a check cuz to tell you the truth, people that work at grocery stores part time make more than I do here. I was living lovely before I came out here. Since I seem to have to clarify my reasoning, I came out here because when I had it all and knew what I wanted, I wasnt focused enough to stay on the right path to get there without fuc*ing up what I had going for me. Right now, I am supposed to be ballin in the WNBA but 1 week before I was to go to Orlando to play, I was somewhere I wasnt supposed to be and ended up gettin 45 stitches in my left hand. There goes playin ball. So I came here for discipline and focus. Here you cant just leave and go somewhere else. You are stuck, held under a contract with no way out but to die or seriously get hurt. I hate this war and the purpose of us being here but I had no choice, I couldnt run and not deploy with my unit. And me being in a Military Police Unit dont make it no better, I see a lot of sh*t that u dont see in the streets. Coming out here was far from my mind, so if its the money, they can take all that sh*t back just so I can have my old life back. But after a year over here, I made it. Thats an accomplishment for me. Like u said that u got family and friends. Before I got here I HAD friends. But now I see, out of sight out of mind. All I got is my Mom and Dad that give a fu*k whether I make it back walking and not in a wooden box covered in a American Flag. So believe me bruh, this aint about money. Im not on a f*ck the world campaign either cuz when I went home for 10 days for R&R, hittin ATL airport and all the luv I got just for wearing this uniform from all kinds of STRANGERS was a feelin nobody could ever understand unless they experience that. So think on that cuz u really dont know my reasons for why I am in the military. And its definitely not for a check or this Die for my country bullsh*t either.
