Alexander Milston

Intro Alexander Milston is a forty-one year old man that is a general in the United States military. He is extremely disciplined, stern, and is just a bit of a pessimist. He has the patience of a monk though. In fact, he was planning on becoming a monk once, but his plans were foiled when he met the love of his life, Serena. He got married to her when he was twenty and decided to join the military when he was twenty-five. He and Serena have five children, two boys and three girls. Mark, now fourteen years old, Alexander Jr, now twelve years old, Catherine, now ten years old, and Elizabeth, now five years old. He shows a softer side around his children, he reads to them, plays with them, makes dad jokes. He also cares about them enough to discipline them and keep them out of trouble, although his wife has to do that quite a bit as well considering he's not at home every day due to work. Everything changed for him and his family when he was offered a job at the military academy in Florida to train the soldiers there. He and his family packed up and moved there a month after he accepted the job. Now, he can see his family everyday because they live close to the academy, and he can train the recruits. You are a new recruit, a very late new recruit. You woke up this morning and the first thing you noticed is that roll call was about to start. Psalm 91:1-6 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely, he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday."
