this book is about every type of the military. it says that army is powerful and the most powerful in all the world. the army fights on the land. the navy has boats that carry airplanes. the boats are called aircraft carriers. the navy fights on water. the airforce fights in the sky. the marines train to fight on the land, the water, and the sky.
people in the army have to get a special hair cut so everyone's hair looks the same. you get medals for doing a good job in the army. if you want to be in the army you have to be neat and tidy, respectful and be responsible.
the worst thing about being in the army is being away from home. but writing letters and going to church helps keep spirits up.
the army men eat yucky meals in a baggie when they go to war. they are called mre's which means meals ready to eat.
in boot camp men have to do 17 sit-ups and run a mile in 8 minutes and 30 seconds. ladies have to run a mile in 10 minutes and 30 seconds and do 17 sit-ups. in boot camp people are trained to fight in the air, water, or ground. they are trained to use their weapons properly. boot camp lasts for 6 to 12 weeks. my friend's dad is there right now. he wants to be in the army.
we celebrate these people in the armed forces on veterans day and memorial day. i hope you like this book. i think i want to be in the military when i grow up.

My brother went to boot camp right after your sister was born. Reggie is in the Navy, just like great grandad Reavis was. He said it was hard work, but he's learning discipline. Right now he works in an office and goes to lots of funerals to play taps on the bugle. This Spring he ships out to the Middle East.
I think the military is a wonderful career! Unka J wanted to be in the army, but they said no.
