This CNN story follows Will McClain, a recent high school graduate from a small town in California, as he enlists in the U.S. Army.   I thought Will's story was interesting because it is similar to the story of many recent graduates of our own school.  

Do you know anyone who has recently entered the military?  What has their experience been like?

Have you ever considered serving in the military yourself?  Has the war in Iraq and Afghanistan influenced your decision one way or another?

  1. yes I do know people from my family and even friends that have went into the army and their training exsperience has been really good for them and stuff they liked their. I actually have tought about goin to the army but i dont know if I would have the courage to actually go through with it. The war hasnt really influenced me cause i been talkin bout it since i was little cause of my family.
