I would have to say that the military has taught me a lot about patience, authority and above all, respect. It wasn't always fun or exciting, but I was always learning. I actually reference the military often when referring to why I am the way that I am today. I absolutely love the sense of patriotism that I gained from serving and I would give the shirt off my back for anyone. The military is definitely not for everyone, but I'm glad God decided to send me.
