Josh became infatuated with the military and flying after watching “Top Gun”. Josh did everything he could to learn about aircraft and to prepare to become a pilot, including participating in the Civil Air Patrol. Josh needed glasses to correct his vision so becoming a pilot wasn’t feasible, but it didn’t stop his desire to serve. Josh enlisted in the Infantry with the goal to apply to West Point and to enter the Academy.
