I remembered when I was still a kid and one day was watching a foreign movie named the "The Marines". In that movie, it was really though and always make me to feel that am already a force man. Though I was still a kid, there was one thing I loved about the characters (marines) in the movie. That is the Uniform. I was really in loved with the uniform and asked my Mum, if am to become a force man, which of the these forces would you chose? My Mum replied, none. You are not going to be a force man and will never. That spoilt my day and was sad.
However, now that I grew up, I have right to take my own decisions but I never ventured into force cos I don't want to break my mother's heart.
