I took summer school and extra classes so that I could finish up all my high school credits by the middle of my senior year. This allowed me to leave in Jan. to go off to Army basic training. While everyone else was at their graduation cerememony in May, I had already started my AIT (Advanced Individual Training) in Ft. Gordon, GA.
I was very fortunate that my military career was fairly uneventful in terms of actual combat. We got activated for the Bosnian confilict, but at the last minute the orders came for us to stand down and we never did get reactivated.
After I got out of the active duty Army, I spent time in the Army National Guard and while I was in the Army Reserves, I went to Drill Sergeant school.
