Good mix, good arrangement and a good vocal.
Interesting narrative - the experience/recruitment model that keeps the US military afloat.
I thought the song could've used a dynamic change..mainly tempo...for the standard issue verse.
Cool.
G'day mate....
Thank you sir for giving it a spin and commenting favorably.
Yep....an unfavorable home life leads to BIG life decisions at a young age.
I have no regrets.
I don't know ray....a 'tempo' change in just one verse could really take a away from the prevailing groove & pensive mood of the song as a whole.
But...what do I know!....I have been wrong in the past.

We appreciate your take on it and chiming in.
