Military

Even as a child, I have already considered being in the military. Recently, I have been gathering information from the Army and Marines. My next stop will be the Air Force on Monday.

I am leaning more towards the Marines as they are the best of the best. The most elite fighting force. Although I am not able to join the front lines as an infantryman, but I do go through the same physical and mental training. Their training is the toughest out of all of the military and also the longest. Before I leave to go to the actual bootcamp, my Sergeant recruiter will train me so that I will be able to withstand the physical aspect of the training. Once deployed to bootcamp, I will be there for 13 weeks. I am sure that those 13 weeks of training will be the hardest 13 weeks of my life but I am also sure that it will be extremely worth it once I graduate. 

After I graduate, I have a 10 day vacation. I hope that I will be able to spend those 10 days with my family and close friends. I would also enjoy going to Disneyland. haha.

After the 10 days, I will start combat training. I'm actually not sure what it's called but I know it's when they train you to use weapons and how to create strategies. That will go on for 21 days. 

Once completed with all of my military drill training, I will be trained in my field of choice. I'm actually not sure how long that takes. But once I complete that, I'll be working for the Marines from 7 a.m. - 4 p.m. and be going to school at the same time. 

I hope that even though not everyone agrees on my decision, that they'll support me and be proud once I graduate. 

I'm pretty excited. I wish I was in shape enough to be sent to bootcamp already. It just seems so exciting. I'll be self-reliant and self-confident. I'm going to be part of the few, the proud, the Marines.
