“Michigan had double-digit unemployment when I graduated high school in 1980, so I went to work for a grocery store as a cashier. But after a year, they were only giving 30 to 34 hours a week because they didn’t want to designate me as full-time. Me and my girlfriend ended up having a baby, we got married, and I wasn’t able to support our new family on my paycheck. But I knew that if I joined the military, I was going to get benefits, a place to live and food to eat, and enough money to support my family, and that's what got me into the Army.
