Tom Joyner has a segment where families can call in and "shout out" to loved ones in the military. This one lady calls in doing her "shout out" to her daughter who is Kuwait. Her daughter is 18 years old.
The daughter graduated from high school in June, signed up before she graduated from HS. After that, she attended the camp and graduated in November. She came home in November, then was called off in February.
Tom and his crew asked the mother why did her daughter enlist in the military when they knew the circumstances going on. The mother said she was not "aware" of the goings on. EVERYTHING after September 11th said that war was in the near future.
Anyway, is signing up for the military a viable option for youngsters? This girl and her best friend are 18 and in Kuwait in the middle of a world showdown. Prayerfully, they and the others will return, but to graduate from high school and possible placed on the front line is something one should consider.
Any thoughts?
