"death to one life to another"
If you want to read something inspirational or you have a friend family member boyfriend or girlfriend in the Marine Corps or any branch of service for that matter you should read this it will help you to understand why we do what we do for this great country.
I SIT HERE IN MY ROOM AND LOOK BACK ON MY SAD EXCUSE FOR A SO CALLED LIFE AND I THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE TO MAKE MY LIFE A MORE "PERFECT" LIFE. THEN I THINK "WHAT IS A PERFECT LIFE?", EXCEPT FOR A PREFERRED IMAGINARY LIFESTYLE THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH.
BEFORE THE MARINE CORPS I DID NOT LEAD A VERY ADMIRABLE LIFESTYLE, THOUGH IT WAS FUN IT WAS WRONG TO TAKE FOR GRANTED EVERYTHING THAT WAS JUST GIVEN TO ME AND NOW I AM GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING I HAVE BECAUSE I HAVE EARNED AND WORKED FOR IT.
SOME PEOPLE SAY MY JOB IS HARD BUT ITS REALLY NOT ITS JUST AS EASY, IF NOT EASIER, THAN ANY OTHER JOB OUT THERE. STRESSFUL, ON OCCASION BUT THAT COMES WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU WILL EVER DO. OTHERS SAY MY JOB IS DANGEROUS BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT MY JOB IS JUST AS RISKY AS WALKIN DOWN THE WRONG NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE WRONG COLORS ON, OR DRIVING A CAR AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN. ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT I HAVE THE PRECONCIEVED NOTION THAT I WILL PROBABLY DIE AN HONORABLE DEATH AND YOU'LL JUST BE ANOTHER BLOOD STAIN AND CHALK LINE ON THE BLACK TOP.
MY "BOSS" TAKES HIS JOB A LITTLE MORE SERIOUSLY THAN YOUR BOS. HIS SUPERVISORS, MY DRILL INSTRUCTORS, THE ONES WHO TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING FROM TIEING MY SHOES TO SHOOTING A RIFLE, THINGS I ALREADY KNEW BUT THEY TAUGHT ME ANYWAY. THEY DISCIPLINED ME WHEN I DID SOMETHING WRONG OR DIDN'T CORRECT THOSE AROUND ME. THEY HAD A DIFFERENT WAY OF PRAISING ME THEY GAVE ME MORE RESPONSIBILITY, THEY TRIED TO SET ME UP FOR FAILURE, SEE IF I WOULD BREAK UNDER PRESSURE, SOMETIMES IT WORKED, OTHERS IT DIDN'T. MY CO-WORKERS. . . . . . . .I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO KEEP THEM FROM GETTING KILLED THEY ARE CLOSER TO ME THAN YOU PROBLY ARE WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL AND THE ONLY REASON I SAY THIS IS WOULD YOU SERIOUSLY GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR YOUR FRIEND SO THAT HE COULD KEEP FIGHTING LIKE ACTUALLY TAKE A BULLET, I WOULD DO THAT FOR ANY MARINE FIGHTING ON THE LINE WITH ME BECAUSE I ASSUME HE WOULD DO THE SAME FOR ME IF THE TIME CAME.
MY JOB FAMILY DATES BACK BEFORE THE CONSTITUTION, MY BROTHERS BEFORE ME HAVE SHOWN GREAT VALOR IN SITUATIONS THAT MOVIES ARE MADE OF. . . . . .THINGS LIKE MARINES HAVING A GRENADE THROWN IN A GROUP AND ONE OF THEM SACRAFICING HIS LIFE JUST TO SAVE THE OTHERS IN THE GROUP ABSORBING THE FULL BLAST PROTECTING THE OTHER 20 MARINES THAT WERE THERE. . . . . . .
UNCOMMON VALOR WAS A COMMON VIRTUE. . . . .THAT IS WHAT IS SAID ABOUT MY BRETHEREN PAST.
SOME SAY THAT THE MARINE CORPS THAT EXISTS TODAY IS WEAKER THAN THAT CORPS THAT EXISTED 10 YEARS AGO. I BELEIVE THAT IT IS NOT WEAKER BUT IT IS NOT A S HARDCORE AND NAIVE ABOUT GOING INTO BATTLE. THE CORPS THAT EXISTS TODAY IS JUST SMARTER MARINE CORPS SETTING A HIGHER STANDARD AND KEEPING MORE MARINES ALIVE THUS RAISING MORALE AND STABALIZING THE WELFARE OF THE TROOPS.
I HAVE EARNED MY PAGE IN HISTORY. . . . . . . . .WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO GET YOUR NAME IN THE BOOK.
