Good morning Marines,
I'm going to try to make this short and not make an *ss out of myself. for about a year now I been debating about joining the service, I have put a lot of thoughts and thinking about what branch but I always come back to the Marine Corps. I always felt its something that i should do and feel its the right thing. I only have a few concerns, one of my biggest is coming from an Arab background (Palestinian) and have little thought or feelings about other Arab countries, so deploying to the middle east is not a problem for me but the concern comes to if i'd be treated differently because of this fact. I was born and raised in America, so that pretty much makes me American? I put off joining cause I was worried what my family and friends would say but I have quickly come to realize that this is bigger than their little opinions, I want to do something great and where better to do it than the Corps.
If any Marine can answer my concern about my background and how I would be treated based off of that and any advice that can be giving before making it official.
sorry for such a long post.
Thank you, Marines!
