I think you misunderstand me though. I should have clarified that my father died a couple years ago, and if I were to slip up and lose my life, that would leave my mother with just my brother... and they don't get along at all.
Just because I'm not reckless with my life doesn't mean I can't contribute to the safety of our nation.
I am rather determined in my life to not just become another statistic.
