Summary
People often ask me why I joined the military. The truth is the answer changed over time. At first it was about leadership and structure. Later it was about security and opportunity. But looking back today, I realized something deeper influenced my decision — the examples set by the people I looked up to. In this episode I reflect on my military journey and what truly shaped that decision.
