Good publicity comes in small doses for the Marine Corps at times. But i found this little motovating piece in TIME Magazine.
What events in your life made allowed you who you are today? —Dinh Phan, Silver Spring, Md.
The Marine Corps. It instilled a great sense of discipline that I can call on when I need to. Growing up without a father also had a big effect and being the youngest in the family. I think every situation you find yourself in—the traffic you go through, the lines you wait in, even mundane things have an effect drop by drop.
Nice BCGs dog.

Born: 23 May 1958
Birthplace: Cleveland, Ohio
Best Known As: The star of TV's The Drew Carey Show
Drew Carey was a journeyman standup comedian in 1995 when he got his own TV series during the wave of "standup sitcoms" that followed the success of the show Seinfeld (http://www.answers.com/main/ntq-dsid-1648-dekey-jerryseinfeld). Carey's comic material was based on his working-class Cleveland roots, his blocky crew-cut-and-black-glasses appearance, and his raucous bachelorhood. Carey's sitcom, The Drew Carey Show, was a hit and ran until 2004. In 1997 he published the book Dirty Jokes and Beer: Stories of the Unrefined. Carey also signed on as the host and emcee of the American version of the British TV improv show, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, which ran in various network formats from 1998-2006. He hosted a similar animation-improvisation variety show called Drew Carey's Green Screen from 2004-05. In November of 2007 he succeeded Bob Barker (http://www.answers.com/main/ntq-dsid-1648-dekey-bobbarker) as the host of the long-running game show The Price Is Right. That same year he began hosting another game show, the CBS prime-time program Power of 10.
Carey joined the Marine Corps reserves in 1981, a job which he credits with establishing his signature buzzcut-and-black-glasses look... Carey's first film role was a bit part in the 1993 movie Coneheads, alongside fellow comedians Dan Aykroyd, Phil Hartman (http://www.answers.com/main/ntq-dsid-1648-dekey-philhartman) and Chris Farley (http://www.answers.com/main/ntq-dsid-1648-dekey-chrisfarley).

That surprised me! It's such a beautiful thing seeing that Marines/Marine Veterans are everywhere. It's especially great to know that it will never leave you. <br />
