And a quote from the text...

“It was your usual quick indoctrination into the military and the feeling of it all. It was pleasant and the military was very nice. We got the uniform. We went to a few training sessions and learned to handle the guns.”

I remember that part...pleasant, and the military was very nice...yeah, that's it.
