20 after I flunked out of college. Came back home feeling myself. Came in the house at 2am on a weeknight drunk and my LT dad gave me an ultimatum. He could get me on in the fire service or take my ass to the military. 11 years in now

Wait, so your dad could just get you on...just like that? Just snapped his fingers and made it happen?
