The Defining Moment On September 20, 2004, the Humvee I was driving hit a triple stack tank mine that was pressure plate ignited. I enlisted my senior year of high school, and my recruitment officer showed up at my graduation–that’s how I told my parents I was going to be a Marine. My grandfather served in WWII and my uncle served in Vietnam, so joining the service was always my ambition. Jake’s Background I wanted to be in the Marine Corps since I was eight or nine years old.
