Join the Army, they said. It will make a better stallion of you, they believed. It's all fun and games, up until that dreadful, gut-wrenching day arrives, without a clue of what is to come.

If I do not make it home, to whom it may concern, these memoirs are to be returned to my parents should they be found in my lifeless hoof.

NOTE: This story is written to be like a diary. For realism I am choosing to keep the chapters particularly short, and because it is a main Pegiverse story, updates will be far and few in between.
