This is what he wanted to do. Not that he wanted to do it forever, but he wanted it to be part of his life.
— Candy Blanco, sister
Blanco had always been interested in the military, from the time he owned a GI Joe as a child. He drew tanks, loved karate movies and for years prepared himself physically to be a soldier.
