My name is Jacob Ashton. My main goal in life since I was a child wasto serve in the Armed Forces and fight for my country. I have faced many endeavors trying to complete this goal and I almost completed it. On April 16th, which was my ship date, MEPS Received a letter from my mother stating I have two medical conditions that I do not have. She did this because she did not want me to go into the military since she thought it was a bad idea. Two weeks after I enlisted, my grandfather passed away. One of his last words that will stick with me for a life time were, "I want to see you come back as a Ranger or a Green Beret." Now that he is gone, I want to make him happy in his afterlife. Please help me achieve this goal. There is not a thing that will stop me.
