When I turned 18 I decided I wanted to be a Navy Seal. I called the recruiter and made an appointment to come in and talk more about it. I didn't own a car and I didn't have any money for the bus so I walked there. It was about two miles away. When I had walked about half a mile it started raining. I hate the rain so I just walked home and played Xbox. Now while I never made it to the recruiter, I almost did. I Almost Served and no one can ever take that away from me. 

Did you Almost Serve? Were you almost in 'Nam on a Huey as the door gunner? Did you Almost Serve as a sniper in Iraq? We want to hear from you. This is the place for those of us who Almost Served. This is the place to tell your story and live your truth.
