Choosing the Army
Alan Osmond made a very tough decision back when he chose to quit the band. He initially wanted to go on a Mormon mission trip, but it wasn’t quite right for him. After fasting and a lot of praying, he decided this was not the right move. Surprisingly, he chose to join the army instead and head to Vietnam. After his interview with a Colonel, he was chosen as the Colonel’s secretary thankfully, at a base close to his home.
Choreography Prepared Alan for Army
With his position, Alan knew fighting was not in his future. Yet, all soldiers must complete basic training. Funny enough, his years in performing arts helped him in boot camp! All of those years practicing choreography truly prepared him for bayonet training. Not to mention, sleep deprivation during training only reminded him of his crazy entertainment schedule. At the end of it, Alan left with three trophies. Who knew the army and entertainment industry had so much in common?
