i can give you the full skinny about growing up on a Marine base, but i should also let you know before hand that i'm not a fan of the military.

if you want to know what boot camp is like, watch the first part ofFull Metal Jacket. seriously, they used a real drill instructor and every marine i've ever known said boot camp is just like that. my best friend growing up's Dad was a drill instructor and he was a lot like that movie (except he didn't threaten to pull out my eyes and skull-fuck me) i actually saw that movie when it first came out in a movie theater full of marines . . . strange . . .

anyway, there's good benefits and they take care of you, but then again, the way the world is working, you'll probably end up in a foreign country. also, you move around ALOT! they pay isn't really that great, and my dad was pretty happy to be out of it when he retired. but to each their own i suppose. i could go on for a few more paragraphs, so i'll just stop here. if you have any more questions, i'd be happy to answer them.

you could have made a new religion and proclaim yourself as the new messiah.

that'll be fun.
