Military Service

Life, Career

The 9-year period of Heston's life where he personally served in the military, but before he became a general.

Coming from a family of soldiers, and with his father a personal friend of the general he served, Heston fit right into the army and rose through the ranks as fast as he and his fellow soldiers could win battle after battle. He was an excellent soldier and an even better leader, and this served him well on his path to replacing the general who led him when the man retired.
