on to europe

my reaction:
"My 19th birthday, a very sad day for me. I felt very low, away from home. Looking ahead to three months of basic training and regimentation. With answering only yes sir or no sir. Also started a series of shots."
when i read this (the first thing, it made me think of when my mom and step dad sent me to boot camp. and how i felt.

after reading it all, it kinda brought a few tears, because, it seemed like larry didnt really have a life, as soon as he turned 19, he went off. and there was no privacy, hard work, and dedication, was put into his "goal"
