I'm like, I didn't see this on Call of Duty. This wasn't on Call of Duty. No, it wasn't. Y'all supposed to hand me some sexy stuff. I got a bag and y'all are yelling at me. So I did basic, right? My recruiter didn't give me anything in my contract. Nothing. I didn't have anything. So about two months in, and I started asking people what they're doing.

Some people are like, oh, man, I have, you know, the 18 x-rays, special forces. I got an airborne contract. I got this. And I'm like, man, I got nothing. I don't have anything. I'm like, you know, people got bonuses, and I'm like, if I ever go back home, I'm going to fight this dude. He lied to me. It's not like Call of Duty. Everybody else in here are getting paid pretty good.

Like I'm the youngest child. Like when we went to like Chinese restaurants and stuff, my mom took me to McDonald's. I'm not going to eat their food. I don't know what food they got there, but I'm going to starve. What are we talking about? I can't go there. Are you absolutely kidding me? So I'm like, I'm panicking.

I'm like, man, I'm like, some other guys are like, oh man, South Korea, that's kind of cool. I'm like, that's not cool. Like at this point I was dedicated, right? I wanted to go fight bad guys. Once I put the uniform on, because I come from a family of military people, and I'm that generation.

Now, my younger half-brother is now, he's in the 82nd, but I was the first one as the kids to go do something. I was listening to all like the Toby Keith music and stuff before I left, get myself all like hyped up, you know, the American soldiers. By this point, I was like, I was kind of in it, man. I was like, man, it's kind of interesting, whatever. But I wanted to go do something.

I didn't just, I didn't know anything about what I was doing in the first place, but I know I didn't want to go to Korea because I knew the guys didn't deploy from Korea to go fight a war. And we were still in war, right? So if I'm here, let's go do it. I still had that as they were starting to mold me to understanding of my purpose, why I'm here, right?
