If I had been born a boy, I know my father would have wanted me to be a Marine like him. Only I'm an only child and a girl (much to his dismay), so it didn't work out. As it was I just woke up to revely and pounding on my door at 6 AM. He would've loved to have a boy that ended up a sharp shooter MP just like him and, if I were a male, would've probably been just as gung ho to be one. I guess it all depends on how you are raised and what your views are about military life.
