Mr. Williams

My favorite part of this job is when they come back and say "Thanks". No matter how ugly the world is to me (yeah I am the one who told the President to start operations in Iraq...), having a soldier come in my office and say "Thank SGT, I appreciate..." I think that is way too cool.

Take for instance Mr. Williams. This kid was 17 the day he tested for me. Had a GED. Mom was a crack whore somewhere and father non-existent. He was on a bad road, but through a little encouragement, he is now about to be a double stacked gun bunny. Cool. He is so proud of himself, stands up a little taller, smiles more often. THAT is why I do this job to the best of my ability. Because of him and all the other Mr. Williams that I meet.
