hello all,
My name is Cody, i am just about to leave for basic in San Diego
, I havent seen any threads about HONOR...Not saying that they arent out there. I have always wanted to be in the marine corps and i am finally getting the chance, i am 18 and i just graduated from a small school from a town of about 2,500 people.
Everyone has asked me why the marines, everyone has tried to get me to go into the army and the airforce etc. etc.
dont get me wrong i have much respect for all branches of the military but all of them arent for me, only the marines!.
when i first spoke to a recruiter the first thing he asked me is if i wanted to be a marine......i respected this VERY much......the recruiters from other branches try to win me over with money and schooling and sign-on bonuses.....this one didnt.....
.....His name is SSGt. O'havre.....from Jonesboro, Arkansas
i have contacted him every week scince and show him and other marines the utmost respect.
I will be GREATLY HONORED when i can call myself a marine...and cant wait untill that day....untill that day i pride myself on telling other people about the marines and there acomplishments
for everyone else; if you dont know wether or not you want to be a marine then dont do it because i feel that your a marine or your not, i was born to be a marine and nothing else....
