So, I've been thinking that I should probably spend some time "serving my country." I come from a long line of members of the military (all of the males on both sides of my family have been in the military, also my grandmother aided and even helped hide resistance fighters and partisans during the Japanese occupation and the Korean War).

I'm thinking of joining the reserves, probably in the Air Force (like my dad) or the Navy (like my paternal grandfather). Though the Marines and the Army are not out of the question. Hell, I may just join the Coast Guard Reserves or the National Guard.

I'm still in the planning stages, though, nothing firm, though I do have a meeting with a one-star general that my father knows, who wants to talk to me about signing up.
