Also Army Cadets is a thing. Kind of like Boy Scouts but it is more pre training before joining the military when you turn 18 (or whatever the age you are recognized as an adult). Puts you on the fast track for a military career.
Thanks for sharing your story. I am enjoying the fact that you are using military terminology and specs without bogging the flow of the story. We dont need to know the muzzle velocity of a 1911. Many military stories get swamped down by the minute details.
