MOS: 25 Victor


I was told it was pure faith that I got the job that I wanted in the U.S Army today:
Combat Documentation Production Specialist 
In bewilderment how my stubborn self even had a say.
The job that will consume me for six years on a dice roll?
Not happening man, wasn't the goal.
MEPS can call me the "problem child" but they ain't watching my life unfold.
So when I get a call telling me I will travel the world
and get to film history and photograph while I serve?
No doubt I'm smiling just knowing I'm going to change the world.
Because it's known that a picture is worth a thousand words,
but I'm going to capture images worth a thousand emotions.
