    up by my recruiter. I was sent to MEPS (military entrance processing station), where all the “civilians get turned into recruits”, as my recruiter used to say.

    back home. I long for the days I came home to the savory, alluring smell of a home cooked meal or the times I spent with father learning how to blacksmith.
