CHAPTER3 Walking on US Military Soil for the First TimesteemCreated with Sketch.

"Good morning sir, government photo ID...thank you". As the Military Police on base verifies all incoming and outgoing branch of the Army and Government daily, it begins to sound familiar during the time I started walking. For some reason I dont remember my younger brother with my dad and I on base walking slowly through the long hallways to his office. My father was not your typical Army fighting soldier. He was important and very good with computers in those days. The government building was like a ghost town during the weekend with a few MP's looking and acting like robots always on guard fully dressed. I can only imagine how busy and crowded it must have been during the week. This might not sound like an exciting time going to work with your dad for a short brief time on a Saturday and Sunday. But it is one of my most memorable memories that I can recall as if it was yesterday. Of course I remember we all went together as a family to the Main Commissary, Commissary Mart, and the PX (Exchange) on base as Military ID was needed to enter. Those where like the Sams Club, 7-Eleven, and Walmarts that regular civilians use off base today. It has its perks without having to pay any sales tax. My mom loved shopping there. We enjoyed the recreatioinal club, swimming pool, sauna, gym, tennis, and track. Visiting my dads co-workers on base which we occasionally hung out at their BQ. I did notice that our family attracted some attention, mostly stares. Like we were different. Only my dad had the proper English speaking voice at the time. As far as I can remember everyone treated us with respect and kindness on base. All good and fun family times. No bad or tramatic memories occured there. Now off base, well thats another story...

TO BE CONTINUED DAILY...

Love hearing where your story is going! I am nervous to see where it goes next. Also, yay! On franks-411. I am into it. Enjoy your night!!

Im sharing my memories, dreams, and real life experiences starting from inception. That way my family and friends one day may come across this in the future while I share bits of myself to the steemit community one day at a time. My memory will possibly diminish decades from now and I would like to beable to recall these precious experiences to show my journey and growth. We all are not getting any younger. So no need to worry, Im fine. Just trying my attempt to write a biography about myself live here on the steemit platform. I appreciate your votes and patience with this new adventure and welcome any comments or questions.

I like your story so far! Glad I get it watch it unfold. And hope your friends and family one day very much enjoy your story too.

Thank you Kristy. Its nice to see the BRAVE interact live in REAL time with ME. I appologize in advance for keeping anyone in suspense. I am labeling them in order to keep it clean and simple to find and read all my posts. Starting to trust the steemit community and perhaps my family and friends will see they can too. So by writing these LIFE memories of mine they will be able to verify and see everything for themselves. I hope steemit will last long enough for them all to see one day. We all have to try our best to make this community much stronger and even better.

I have found the steem community to be wonderful. Ya there's bots and spam but the real people are pretty good community!

AutoBots vs DeceptiCons

Looks like the AutoBots are needed and winning. I dont mind. The higher ups trying new and innovative ways to weed out the bad and perhaps some of the good get caught in the cross fire. We are Brave and Stonger to take any abuse that comes our way. Not giving up!
