Can you describe your life story in six words?

Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a complete short story in only six words, a literary legend says. He came back with a brilliant six-word story and won the bet.

Can you describe your life story in six words?

Shall we try?.. :)

I'm working on it, SPC Marleen Madding. This is an excellent question! Very thought provoking. Here's my first shot at six words: Born, grew, soldiered, retired, continued soldiering ...

More to follow, maybe ...
