What drives a 20-year-old husband and father working odd jobs and living in a $18-thousand starter home to trade it all for an Army uniform? Meet Terry Wilson. In this clip from The Resilient Show with Chad Robichaux, Terry reveals why he chose Military Police over college, how watching Special Forces teams in Iraq lit a fire for something more, and what really happens inside the legendary SF Selection course.
