Stop in for a cup of coffee

There's a lot of nuance in that story...

"I was gonna be"

"My recruiter said...."

"Spec Ops"

I hope the young man goes out there and kicks some arse and has an amazing career...

I was kinda like John... my career started because I was out of work and lacked direction.
Most of us have a "why" story me I had bombed a semester of college and needed to get away from it all.
On a Wednesday I went to the recruiter and asked how soon I could leave. He replied if we can get the paperwork done Sunday??
I was gone and enjoyed the 33 years I gave!!
