When George was 13 he found his grandfathers surveying tools and became a surveyor. Three years later he got into a surveying expedition and one year later when George was 17 he became a professional surveyor. In 1752 when he was 21 George got into the British military. He was appointed Major in the British Army. In 1753 George carried a British ultimatum to the French. In 1754 George was given the rank of Lieutenant in the Colonial Militia. Also Washington was defeated by the French during the attack on Fort Duquesne. At the age of 24, George attempted to receive a regular commission in the British Army. When the request was refused, George became an aid to General Edward Braddock with a commission as Lieutenant Colonel. Then Washington took command of Braddock's forces. Then for his bravery, Washington is promoted to Commander of Virginia forces. Those are only a few things he did in his military career. George is a hero for many things and one of them is his presidency. He is so called "The father of our country". Washington was elected 1789 and retired in 1797 although the people wanted him to stay president; he went back to his house and family. He was a land surveyor.
