Join the Army,
learn new skills
"When I first joined the Army, I didn't
know nothin'," said Corporal Baritz. "Now I learned
lots of things."
John Baritz is just of of the thousands of soldiers
who learn news skills each year after joining the Army. Some
become computer specialists and learn how to create YouTube
movies and download porn, while others become skilled at killing
people.
"Where I come from, we didn't have a lot
of drugs or violence," says Sargent Harold Pitts of the
82nd Airborne. "My years in the Army have changed all
that. Now I know the difference between crack and meth, how
to identify 46 different types of weapons, and I can kill
a man with my bare hands."
"But, I'm not exactly sure how these skills
are going to help me when I return to Lubbock, Texas,"
Pitts added.
The Army has a rich tradition of creating the
challenges and providing the skills needed to become leaders
of high-tech companies, owners of hospitals and law firms,
and wealthy captians of industry. Just look at all of the
successful Vietnam veterans in your town when you think about
joining the Army to learn a skill. Just Kidding
