You make your decision after much debating with yourself. You’re going to go to Vietnam instead of Washington College, and after a somewhat tearful goodbye with your parents and quite a bit of second-guessing yourself, you head to base in order to report for duty. You know now that there is no turning back, and hope that you will find the courage to continue.
When you report to base, you’re given a lot of choices as to what you can do to help your country. You could opt out of active combat, though those are some of the jobs that are in higher demand among recruits that you may have to fight for. Aside from that, there are several options that would involve being in personal danger such as becoming part of maritime operations or, of course, combat operations. You thought that you would be okay to answer what you wanted to apply for, but when a man with a clipboard in a stiff uniform walks over to you and asks what you want to do, you blank for a second.
The only two options that you can think of are combat operations and culinary services. You don’t know how to cook very well, but being in a position where you’re less likely to die would definitely ease your mother’s nerves. On the other hand, your father would be beyond proud if you were to join combat operations and live through the experience. The only problem is that you don’t know if you would be able to live through whatever was going in Vietnam when you landed. You quickly blurt out an answer.
What do you tell the officer? Combat operations or culinary services?
