ENLISTMENT by Jodi M. Swanson
My military career started out as a way for me to grow, to expand my opportunities, and leave my little rural hometown in Wisconsin. Who am I trying to fool? I was a broke farm girl trying to get an education. Everything after that just happened. But you're not here to read my sappy teenage memoirs. You're here to find out about "them". How I was selected. And what happened
As a prior member of the US Air Force, Marie Peterson is reminded daily of what she misses being active duty versus her current civilian life. News stories and the threat of a comet stir her sense of patriotic duty and make her think on going back into the service. Then a stranger with military credentials, who knows things of Marie's past, offers her a chance to go back as active duty. But the things he knows and shows her has Marie wonder what is really going on. Is it just going back in, or is it a different calling. Heed the call to serve.

About Jodi M. Swanson I'm a prior USAF veteran, Boise State Alumni, proud single mom of two great kids for many years. I have lived all over because of the military, but I have been happy to call Wisconsin home.
I like writing in my free time. I find it a great stress reliever. It also fits in with some of my other passions, which are theatre, reading, watching movies, and being outdoors.
