So it was you either re-up as Military Police or you get out, and I'm like, "I bet I could finagle this some other way." So when we ended up at Fort Jackson, that's what happened.
Darren TompkinsGUEST
I was able to pick what I wanted out of the reserves and then plan my career, sort of what the next push was, which was being NCO in Civil Affairs, which is a s- special operations unit.
Darren TompkinsGUEST
Uh, but I knew I always wanted to go to college.
Darren TompkinsGUEST
I just figured that's the American way.
AshleyGUEST
And then eventually, I got to a point in the military where I just wanted to start expanding and kind of doing bigger and better things.
AshleyGUEST
So I decided I wanted to join Special Forces, and I dropped a packet to go to selection for Civil Affairs, which is a branch of Special Forces.
AshleyGUEST
Um, and I, my packet went through, and I went through the whole selection process, and I did get selected.
AshleyGUEST
And I was in training for that, um, for, like, the end of my military career, but I never, I never got to the point of completing training because I got medically discharged, um, before I was able to complete my training and, like, get assigned somewhere.
