just like i promised, it's back.
for all you loverly friends, i have brought back the donate button. i have written a little bit about why i want to be a marine, for your inspiration, or amusement, however you feel about it.
everyone always asks, "why the marines?" you know, instead of any other force and i would always say, "because everyone else is too pussy for me." but i thought it out, i thought about what being a marine means to me, what i feel like it should mean to my friends and family. i also thought baout what i would say at this exact moment if i were asked to present my case as to why i deserve to be guide of a platoon in basic training, and i thought about what i've been doing to work myself towards my goal, and what more i can do to better myself for it, what foods i shouldn't eat, as often as i do, when i should get up,when i should exercise, for how long, and what exercises i should do. but above all, i know now why i picked the marines over all other options (and there's a lot of them). because i know, i know that i want to be the best. because i've never had to work for anything in my life, except this. and i want it. i want my goal, i want something i'm going to have to work hard for for the next thirty years. i want something where i can go to work everyday, a number or a person, be proud that i'm serving my country, be proud that i am the reason that my family has a place to live, and decisions to make, and the freedoms to make those decisions. i am proud to be an american, and i will be proud to serve, and protect, my family, my nation. because in order to be the best i have to join the best. and i will. i know its cheesy, but that's why i feel i need to join, because i'm meant for that, i'm meant for greatness. it's not because everyone else is too pussy, it's because in joining any other branch, i won't have worked hard enough to get it. and i would not feel as though i've deemed my hard work worthy of the pride i want to feel for my accomplishments. so, if that means that all of my kin and my friends need to support my decision to wield a rifle against mine enemies, my country's enemies in order for them to see that yes, they live in a free country, but i am one of them that defends their freedom then so be it. while i am working my ass off in 100 degree weather with 80% humidity, and sand fleas eating my face, they will be comfy at home, marrying who they want and being who they want, living off the freedoms so many americans take for granted. i hope they realixe that i'm not doing this for me. i mean it is for me, but it's also for them. i still care, i'm just caring in a bigger picture now. and that. is why i want to be a marine.
