Ever since I was a little pup, I've always wanted to follow in my father and my grand-dog's pawprints in serving my country. Now that I'm fully grown, I still find it hard to believe how far I've risen in the ranks since my enlistment some years ago. This little toy soldier my father gave me since my puppyhood is what I consider my little lucky charm. It may not look it, but this plastic figurine is what kick-started my career. Maybe when my little pup is older, I'll pass on the family tradition.
