The september eleventh terrorist attacks took place during arica's senior year in college. They prompted arica to go to graduate school to better understand the nature of terrorism. As an undergrad, i understand you took a military science clas it sounds like you were developing a real interest herein in military history. Yes, i was interested in potentially serving in the army after graduating from college. And they had an r o t c programme, which i didn't eventually enroll in. But i did take the military science course to find out whether it was a path for me.
