Below is a video of a Future Soldier, who found my videos on YouTube and felt the desire to share his excitement for becoming a US Soldier.  He recently posted this video and in response to it I had the following to say to him (below the player).

Look Timothy, in your mind you're already a soldier and that's the way you should look at it. You're proud of your choice, and hold onto it! As for ideas, perhaps you can look into the long list of Future Soldier Training that you can be learning and vlog about your "pre-soldier" experience. I view vlogging as visual journaling and art. It's mostly for yourself, and hopefully for others to follow your journey. Remember that! :) Be real, be authentic. More importantly, be yourself. -David

I hope he takes what I said to heart.  He's young and he'll figure it all out. :)

Just thought I'd share. 

Oh and while I'm at it, there are more like him that either I subscribed to on YouTube or vice versa--ranging from folk joining or in the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force.  Great people we have in this country!
