Always one to fall in line,
I learned early to obey.
Silence and respect protect
Against the everyday.
I'd like to have a moment Sir
Up here so close to You
To talk about the things I've done
and the things I've yet to do
At times I've left formation
To peel off and slip away
One decision, one dream, one job
The one job that will change my life forever
For the better, I believe
After the awaited phone call,
Ross--
in the words of the Air Force recruiter
was given his first direction.
His next few months were described
permanently,
but his mind remained
unsteady.
