Last day before Basic training
By this point in the story, I am shaved-balled, shot up with more needles than I remember, and sufficiently sore as crap from the smoke session/breaking in our uniforms. I wish I could say this is where basic training started for me, but it is not. There were a few more days of pre-basic training to get through. Which mainly consisted of waiting around and getting yelled at for… well, about everything. Did you know you could breathe wrong? I Never knew that personally. Lucky for me, Drill Sergeant Culp let me know I was doing it wrong.

When Everything Changed
American history, or really history in general is not always marked with outstanding events, stunning personalities or remarkable speeches. Much of the history of a great nation is slow steady improvement, set backs and then how a people recovers from those set backs. But in the context of American history, there are a number of truly phenomenal moments when everything changed. These are not just one day events, although some are that sudden. But these are events that once they transpired, Americans thought of themselves, the world and their place in the world completely differently. And it’s worth noting what those events were and how they changed Americans forever.

Day One-ish
Remember I said, "I was starting to think that Basic and AIT was not going to be too bad since the Drill Sergeants at the airport were so patient and lovely "…. I was very wrong about that. It turns out there may have been something in those round brown hats that makes these friendly and caring NCOs turn into some earthly spawn of a demon. Keep in mind that this was still coming from the perspective of a civilian kid. I was a kid sheltered in life and had no idea what he was getting himself into. Maybe it was something in the USO at the St. Louis airport; perhaps it was just that life finally gave me an uppercut to the chin trying to hit that knockout blow!

Mark the Sarge's Words
Author's Note: The following is a series of written letters from my 3rd Great Uncle, Stephen H. Herr, to his family, while serving in the United States Army, during the course of World War One. The orginal documents were written by hand and upon my discovery of them, I saw to it that my ancestor's first hand account of his service be translated to an online format, for others to see and learn from. However, because the orignal pieces are over 100 years old, the cursive handwriting was found to be very illegible, at times, and beggining to fade away; along with a plethora of grammatical errors and mispellings. The process of correcting such mistakes and restoring his written words to this medium, was (by no means) easy; however, the deed has been done.

Being a Soldier is one hell of a ride!
Being a Soldier is one hell of a ride. I personally have experienced the extreme highs, lows, the very frequent in-between moments, and the overwhelming amount of time spent waiting for something but you are not sure what. Of course, every ride needs to start somewhere, so let’s take you back to when that ride started for me. Now, most people would say it was the day basic training started, or they graduated from Advanced Individual Training (AIT) and became real Soldiers. But, my ride started the day before I went back to MEPS and shipped out to basic training. It all started in my bedroom with my left foot. Weird, I know.
