At the age of 20, George Washington had no experience or training as a soldier. But Lawrence's war stories had interested him in military affairs. He applied to the governor for a commission in the militia. In December 1752, he was commissioned as a major. He was put in charge of training militia in southern Virginia.
yes he was a general :)
Washington joined the Virginia militia in 1752, at the age of 20 and commanded the Virginia Regiment until 1759 (7 years), after which he returned to Mount Vernon. When the Revolution began, he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army in 1775, a commission he held until his resignation in 1783 (8 years). Following his two terms as President, he was commissioned in 1798 by President John Adams to again command the Army of the United States in a prospective war with France, which never took place. In that capacity, he served senior officer of the US Army for about a year and a half.

George Washington served as General and Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army for 8 years. He was appointed by the Continental Congress on June 15, 1775.
Actually, he was the commander-in-chief, but he was very proud of his troops, so I would say he was proud to serve in the army.
