I have read all of this and had allot of emotions in just a short time. To who asked, about joining the USMC, I gotta say good choice, but realize what your getting into. You will be a grunt (Infantry Warrior [not a soldier]), unless they find a special skill in you and you get shipped to special schools, you will be in the big theater right now, more than likely you will be in sand anyway (Saudi). Not every warrior or crazy basterd can be a leatherneck, but chicks dig scars and the suit is black. And to those that have served, thank you. And to the question who are you serving, how bout each other, war is war if your their to fight then fight, their is always some one in charge and that can be questionable, but to those who carry out orders and get the job done, its just a fight nuthing personal but its a job and the USMC is always open for business and business is good (I wouldnā??t wana be on the other side of the USMC). And to why? well sometimes the military is all that their is to feed the little ones and the grandmas, or sometimes the military is a learning and life experience like no other, or sometimes a Warrior just wants be at home. Where ever you go the USMC, the SAS, the men in black it is important that you know what is going on for the next 4 years or what ever you signed for, so when your in you will have to embrace it because you asked for it.

..........Oh and I put my colors on the upper right cause Iā??m proud
