so today ive decided that I wanted to enlist in the United States Marine Corps. This has been a goal of mine for years. My dad has been in the Army since I was 7. I was raised as an Army brat during the better part of my childhood. I remember all the experiences I had living on base and the influence of the Army in my dad's parenting toward me, its contributed into molding who I am today. Enlisting is no easy 1-2-3 process. I know a lot of gruelling effort will have to be made on my behalf even BEFORE entering basic training. Im determined and I hope to make my father proud.
