Hey---Seeley
You seem like a good enough kid, but here's two [2] corrections...#1...it's [sacrifice] not sacrafice...#2...it's [Marine] not marine....we better start "snapping you in" before the DIs start chewing you on your rump...24/7...OK, kid??? Semper Fi

My name is Shawn
I live in Washington (state)
I want to me an MP because I have met several Marine MP's that went to police work after they got out of the service and they look good. I always want to help people too so I guess that would be another reason. As for why I want to be a Marine, well let’s just say that I've been pushed to be the best that I can my whole life and I don't plan of giving up anytime soon. I love the feeling of even being around Marines. They wear their uniforms with pride and stand tall. They are respectful, respectable, and the pride and brotherhood/sisterhood that runs through it is unbreakable. There is much more that I could list here for reasons I want to be a Marine but I have a feeling you are all getting my point.

to answer my own question .. I ve wanted to be Marine since I was a kid because my father was a Marine. and when Igot older
I started to understand why he did things ....and why he had to do it a certain way .. And now I learned the reason why !
The Marines made him a better person , a stronger , smarter
and before my dad left I think i thought the Corps would bring us closer ..
# 2 From hanging out with Marines and drilling, pting , running I see there drive I see ther motivation and I want it .
I want to be able to say Im a Marine.. just the words Marine
is so powerful ..
I want to be able to get that respect and pride that I see in the MARINES ..
Im not joining for money or college , Im joining for the Title !
I have many more reasons but this is a touchy subject for me so ill just leave as is

I allways wanted to be in the military I sat down one day and talked to each branch's recruiters. All were the same old thing with the we can give you more money or promise you a better job. Then I remember looking at that sharp dress uniform and remembering how slobish some of the other recruiters were kinda turned me away. Then I remember asking him what can he offer me in the Marine Corps. He sat me down and asked me what Iwanted to do and what could I offer the Marine Corps. That hooked me. Then I joined my MCJROTC program and have exceled gretely through the ranks. I ship out to MCRD Paris Island June 16,2003.

yeah I love that line gets them every time. 99.9% need not apply!! We offer you nothing but a young unnatural death, blood sweat and tears,and if we don't mind you don't matter. Its the arrogance that wins in the end you will not learn it, it will come with the confidence of knowing you are the best. yea tho i walk thru the valley of the shadow of death, i will fear no evil, because i am the evilest motherf**ker in the valley!!!!

As for why I want to join...well my father and two of my uncles are former Marines, I guess you can say its in my blood. Aside from that, I guess the only other reason I'm joining is to be a Marine, to know what it feels like to be part of the best and most elite military in the world. And hey dagoose, I'm leaving June 16th to, cool huh?
