Conversation Between artwallis and Marine4531

Ahoy there, Nate.

Sorry about not getting back to you sooner. I got so much flak on this site for wanting to join the Corps, I hadn't checked it in a while.

I would welcome any info you might posses, right now I am trying to get a DD form 293 going to change the Narration on my DD 214 from "Conscientious Objector" to "Other" and I HOPE it will work. But I have ABSOLUTELY no idea if it will.

It is good to hear a friendly voice on this site for once though. As for my relationship with God, you must understand that at the time of the initial push, and the ensuing madness afterwards...we were basically being jerks, not defenders of the peace. The number of civilian casualties were staggering for a good Christian boy like me, and I had just lost a Staff Sergent from my National Guard unit that I had been involantarally separated from. It's a long story.

I live in Northern California with the hippies and the drug addicts, it's been a fun sabbatical, but I'm SO ready to get a new Military career going.

Hey Art, I am assuming your name is Art. I understand where you are coming from. I have had the same feelings as you. I do however think you should reconsider your relationship with "The Allmighty". I know war can be hell, no doubt about it. Their is nothing glourious about taking another mans life. Their is only glory in the Lord! If this means removing evil by the smoke of our muzzels then so be it. Remember Jesus was the one who said "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword." Mat. 26:52 Also read Psalm 44. I wish you luck in your ventures. I can tell you who you need to call if you are looking to get in to the Corps. I have talked to just about everyone you can think of in the 6th District command including the command Sgt.Maj. Frisbie. What area of the country do you live? Call me anytime. 404-788-8556 it is always good to talk with soilders/marines that have served or are still serving this great nation. (Nate)
