On September 11th, 2001, I got up at 4:30 in the morning and drove up to the Salt Lake City Military Entrance Processing Station to sign my enlistment papers.
Right when I was about to sign and have all my information put into the computer the sytem crashed. The NCOIC at MEPS told me to come back the next day. My recruiter drove me home and I walked into my house just as my parents were leaving for work.
I turned on the TV and switched to CNN where they were reporting that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. A few minutes later I saw the second plane hit the South Tower live on TV...
I enlisted in the Army on 13 September 2001
