hey whats up i am sixteen and i am planning on going to the marines. i was wondering what it is like. ever since my father lift me. it has been my life time dream to become a officer in the marines and serve my country please write me back

well, first thing is stop smoking the weed! At least give yourself about a month or two before you try to go in. Right now its only a urine test, but there are rumors its going to be hair.  Just rumors though, I wouldn't worry.I can tell you that alot of Marines wouldn't like to see the eagle globe and anchor next to weedsmoker! I'm out now so ballbustin isn't my job anymore! The Marines was the best thing I ever did, even though I've accumulated a whole lot of mental and physical impairments, I wouldn't take back a day. I went to school, went to war and came home and got an amazing job as an engineer. One look at my resume and I was hired. marines are very well looked upon in the job market.

 

I dont know how much you've heard or seen about Parris Island, but I will tell you that the tv specials on it are like recruiting videos, you dont see all the shit you go through!! If they did, no one would join. Ive always thought of it as a will you do it, not a can you do it thing. Any idea of what jobs your looking at, there are a lot of them. I can help with some ideas if you need them. Also there is the active/reserve thing. If you want school to be an officer then you will have to do OCS while you are going to school, cant be an officer without college. I was enlisted and didnt graduate until I was out. I loved being a sergeant though, they are the backbone of the Marines and in my opinion the most important rank. I was actually bummed when I got promoted to staff sergeant, you just become a paper bitch! I had to get out, my injuries made me non-deployable, so I chose to do something else, I miss the uniform, but I love what I do.

i quit all the weed i used to smoke i just have not firgure how to change my name own and i plan on going to annapolis since i am i stright a student i have been studying on it for awhile. i pretty much got my life stright back together.

Thats great to hear. If you got any questions let me know, I dont get on too much, but Ill try to a bit more often.

you r so hot!!!

Hi Silverback,

 

You sound like you have lead a very interesting life.  Sometimes it is nice to just be able to come on here and type in exactly how you feel and what may be going through your mind at that moment.  I find it very interesting to read people's blogs and learn lot about them, even though really i know very little about the person.  Sometimes it is so very hard to get an image out of our heads even if we want to, and then it is hard to sleep.  I guess that is the way life is, but it doesn't seem fair!  You sound like you probably have a lot to deal with, but at the same time you seem like someone that is strong.  In hope that all goes well for you....I really mean that.  after reading a few of your blogs my heart goes out to you!

You are in my prayers!

 

Someone who cares,

PS  If you want you can reply.

I agree, it is pretty interesting to tap into someones thoughts and know that what's written is like a 'confession'. I appreciate that you see strength in my writing, I hope that that is just what comes out. I feel sometimes like all I write is the weekness or 'whats wrong'. I do try to express the will to get over what I can, but, sometimes you just get sick of hearing your own voice and feeling like a drama queen!

I hope you are well. I knew you a long time ago and came across this blog page. Thanks for serving our country.

Well, that got me thinking! I looked into your info but didn't see much, let me know where we know each other, we'll catch up.

I knew you from Hingham, MA.
