I’m rejoining the Army!
I made that post on my facebook as a joke the other day and it made me realize just how many people don’t actually read a post to the end.
It’s probably the same with my email and blog posts. 🙂
But while I copied and pasted this post from another veteran’s post in jest, there is a part of me that would go again.
Truth is that I didn’t love every moment of every year I served but I loved the cameraderie, the sense of purpose and the Mission.
I am also very grateful for the character and leadership education forged during my time with the 82nd Airborne and 3rd Infantry Division.
And, now, like the post, to the punchline at the end- while that’s all true of my Army memories, it’s true of my current life at Krav Maga Martial Arts too!
I LOVE the cameraderie between the team, the students and the whole community of KMMA.
We live an amazing purpose executing a noble Mission.
And we are raising up children, and whole families, with the character and leadership education to create a better tomorrow.
If you’re already a part of our unit, thank you.
And if your’re not yet, give us a try.
We look forward to meeting you.
