A reflection on Ace's time in Boot Camp, from my point of view. I can still remember how excited he was to go, and I was excited for him... so much so that I wished I had enlisted, as well. But instead, I would try with all my heart to emanate those core values which would be instilled in him whilst across the country : Honor, Courage, Commitment. Even now, though Ace and Angel are no longer, even still I live my life according to those principles.
Through My Eyes
Week one:
change, discipline
here, there, yes sir;
everything's a blur
Week three:
settling in
finding a routine;
what am I doing?
Week six:
new purpose
protect my brother;
he will not fall behind
Week nine:
no end to "punishment"
it's all in the mind;
they can not beat us
Week twelve:
jump through hoops
hard part's done;
we're going to make it
Week thirteen:
an honor like none before
courage to see it through;
committed to this new life
