…Naval Officer makes an declarative speech... -...'We brought you here to ask you to become a Guardsman-CO... As to your superior-ability, and excellent-intellect…’ ‘We have learned that you were a honor-student at Princeton before volunteering; and you have been chosen to be a new-assignee by your Commander’... ‘We will give you an exceptional-wage and you will be under the US Guard. Which will be a National-call position, please join-us in this service-to your Country.’ David was 28, a Naval Lieutenant-Commander-declassified; and how, his-trials in his head were ‘full’ of warrior-likening and following-orders; with a personal-mentality still up in-the-air.
David had joined the service while at ROTC in college, his-father became proud of his-decision. After 3-years of Guardsmanship, his parents both died in a house-fire. His father had been smoking while in bed when it broke-out. David never smoked or drank, and tried to convince his father to give it up when his mother stepped-into explain that his father deserved at least one-vice… His younger-brother was 15, when they were orphaned while he was working for the Guard. He promised himself, that he would live a ‘pure’ and full-life. This was one-reason David joined the civil Guard’s CO division... He’d withstood what many could-not; those ‘fires’, that absorbed-all... Then as in a disregard of life, takes-over and banishes the poisoned, the unrighteous, the dirtiness-of life…
He had sent his-brother to college in sun-drenched California, and was promoted to a more desired yet difficult-position, by his Seamanship; he was willing-to take-over under a greater-assignment to U.S.F.S. In a coopt with Albert Simmons; Lower District-quartermaster of Oregon based Forestry-Emergency and Disaster... Within weeks, he was taking major advanced-instructions and intense-regulations and orientation-programs.. He was incredibly astute; listening, following critical-directions and being astutely, careful in every aspect of the orientation.
