I loved most everyday of my 5 years in my beloved Corps Blue. I loved the first 4 so much that I extended another. The only reason I even left them was due to a promise made to my mother that I'd earn a Bachelors. I've known Marines that hated it, but those are also the most prideful after their service. lol. There's days you wonder why you're doing it, but then you get the gist eventually.
PS: you did right by not yelling at, or attacking the National Anthem chick. That would only serve to perpetuate the myth we're all violent psychos. |

An old southern preacher from Georgia had a teenage son named David and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it.
One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects:
- a Bible,
- a silver dollar,
- a bottle of whisky and
- a Playboy magazine
I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself, "and when he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he picks up. If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be OK, But if picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunkard, and, Lord, what a shame that would be.
And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a skirt-chasin' bum."
The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.
Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month's Centerfold.
"Lord have mercy," the old preacher disgustedly whispered, "he's gonna be a Marine!". |

I have a cousin thats in it and finishing up in 4 months or so comes to visit and talks good about it one day, and then the next day bashes on it. Also its annoying how they change them into bossy idiots, and how they talk crap about all the other forces that they are the best besides the navy seals. |
