Deployed With My Mother

In 1988 an Army recruiter encouraged David Weill to sign up for his local Reserve Unit. One weekend a month, two weeks in the summer, extra money now, and benefits toward college. What's not to like?Weill went home and talked it over with his mother. It was a short conversation."Hey, Mom. Do you think I should join the Army?""No."But David had a money mindset and a patriotic streak. He figured he could serve his country and get paid to do it. Not only did he sign up, he talked his mother, a nurse, into signing up too.Then Desert Storm hit the fan, and stuff began to get real.
