I'm already enlisted, i'm simply trying to get more kids into the Corps with me (us). It's a few people asking those questions believe it or not.. I don't know, maybe it's their parents putting those questions in their head I honestly don't know.

Thanks for the help though, i'll let em know what you guys said.

Joining the Corps is without a doubt one of the hardest choices to make for a young adult. With all they hear and with our worldly situation now. It was my first choice when I was eight years old and a choice I have come to love and honor. If young people today know the facts, know what they want to do with their life, and get a set, than joining the Corps will be their best choice as well.
