Tomorrow I ship to Army Basic

Tomorrow marks a bittersweet day in my life. Though as time goes on it may seem more bitter than sweet. I am reporting to the MEPS hotel for shipping to Army Basic on Wednesday. I really look forward to going I have always found the military interesting, but I have come to realize why they say the the military is a young mans game. I am 37 with a wife and kids. This makes this shipping a very difficult as I love my family dearly and while basic is only 9 weeks the AIT (Advanced Individual Training) is one of the longer trainings the army has to offer, meaning I will not be home for good until sometime next year. I ask that those that pray offer up prayers, more for my family than for me, they need it more.
