Call it what you will.

As many of you know I am joining the Army. Just waiting to hear back on a medical issue. A lot of people ask why go back in the military. Or even better, why do you want to do infantry or be a combat engineer? It is just not the infantry I want to be in. I want to be a Ranger or a Sapper. The best men the Army has to offer. Even tho my first choice. and always will be is SpecOps. I have been thinking about this a lot lately because of some stuff my wife has said. Mainly, "Why do you have a hero complex?" I was thinking about what she said and I do not think it is a "hero complex." I believe it is the warrior side of me trying to find a way to get out. I feel like it has been screaming at me. When I talked about joining the police department it was never. "I want to be a cop." but "I want to work in undercover narcotics." Why settle for less when you can do so much more with your life? This stuff still weighs heavy on my mind. It gives me a lot to think about. But I know I am making the right choice. Personally I feel that joining is the right thing to do on many levels.
