4 Investments and Training

At the start of 1939, before the start of WWII, Adam took 3500 SS coins and turned them into 1 ounce gold bars, getting 70 ounces of gold, leaving him with 415 SS coins for emergencies. As an eleven-year-old who looked older than he actually was, he traded the gold in for cash and went to Morgan Stanley's brokerage firm and invested in stocks like General Electric, Coca-Cola Company, Ford Motor Company, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, The Walt Disney Company, and General Motors, leaving instructions for long-term investments and dividend reinvestment. Then he wrote instructions and investments for the future and left them to be delivered to the firm in the future until 1950, just leaving everything alone as he wouldn't be able to do it when he went to war.

As for training, with his parents permission, he joined a Boxing gym to learn, and for the next three years, he learned boxing, judo, wrestling, karate, and fencing to get ready for any combat situation he found himself in. Any extra time he had, he used to learn first aid and medical training, communication skills, navigation and map reading, mechanical skills, German, and French, and touched up his camping and survival skills like shelter building, fire craft, water sourcing and purification, foraging and wild edibles, knot tying, camp cooking, wildlife awareness, and safety.

Throughout the process, In school, he became close to Emily, and they even began dating. At the age of fourteen, Adam was already 5 feet 9 inches tall and muscular due to puberty. They even started having sex in their senior year of high school, and Adam even informed her about his intentions to join the army, which overwhelmed her, and she attempted to talk him out of it, causing a lot of friction in their relationship. Adam planned to enlist on March 15th, 1943, a month after his mother's birthday.

On his birthday, Adam checked his stats, and he was happy to see the progress since he first came to this universe.
