Lest I forget to say this to you..I shall pen it here. Basic training was a time where I experienced a great deal of selfishness and taunting.it was so difficult trying to keep people in line with their competitiveness and pride. Worse still, I was losing faith in people and my close friends didn't give me the support I needed.that made me sink even deeper and truly lose faith with everyone.people were just so unwilling to compromise for the sake of others. Nonetheless, I know in my heart that I stood my ground and held my own. I sacrificed my ego and pride for a bunch of strangers and loved ones at a time where I was the one who needed help most.but what goes around comes around a long way. I've grown more savvy and self-preserved. I say good riddance to a bunch of people who cared less. Your time will come but I'm glad that you don't affect my belief in this calling to serve.
