I look at the young man standing in front of me ready to do his training. I remember when I was this young and this eager. I remember how nothing would stand in my way and all I know is that I wanted to get out of my hometown and make a difference. I remember how I wanted to be one of those men that comes back from the war with all the medals.
I remember how some of the Navy would come throughout the town and when I saw them in their uniforms I just knew this was meant for me. Everyone would look up at them and even let them walk in front of them. It was like they were kings and queens.
I never thought that being a Navy Seal would be such a big responsibility but now I know why they got the respect that they did. It is no joke to work for your country and you have to think on your feet 24/7. You are constantly in danger and you never know if you going to make it home.
