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.
maryjanemama Reviewed by maryjanemama on . Our Government ***very personal views This may sound like an essay but it's something I feel strongly about. And I just wondered if anyone else felt the same way. I was in the military for a while. I got hurt pretty bad. And I got discharged. I didn't get a severence pay because the doctor claimed eventually I would get well and it wouldn't effect my life. While I was sick I was having problems paying my bills. I go to college I work and pay taxes. I strive to do better to have a decent life and live comfortably. Just be a normal Rating: 5
