Thanks for all the support guys, it means allot.
For the reason why I enlisted... well, I can literally write an essay on the reasons why. But it's mainly serving my country... sure, you've probably heard that reason five millions times, but it's honestly why I signed those military enlistment papers instead of going to a 4 year college - which I easily could of been accepted into. Men before me in several different wars gave thier lives for there country and family and I'm no different. No, I'm not saying Im going to die, but if it comes to the part where I might have to give my life, I won't hold back. Those men "gave it all" for future generations like me, now I'll serve and do my part.
By the way 'pest', it's written in black & white so I know for a fact i'll get intelligence... it's not like it was years ago.
I'll be sure to come back here and post my Marine Corps graduation photo

That's if my job training barracks are allowed to have computers. It's one year long... cry:
