There are many reasons someone joins the military. Some join for college. Some join because they have no where else to go. Some join to serve. To the people that join to serve their country are the most respected in my aspect of view. Then there are the people that will dedicate everything they have to become the best at something. They will give up sleep to train.
My story is that I have wanted to join the Marine Corps since I was a kid. I realized at around 8th grade that being the best is what I wanted to become very good at. I excelled in sports and freshmen year I stumbled across Marine Corps Recon. I researched it for about a week or 2 and thats all I need to know this is what I want to dedicate my life to. After that I started the intense grind everyday to help prepare for it. But this post isnt about the work the person is putting it to get what they want its the why. None of my family was really military expect for my Grandpa who was in the navy. I have no footsteps to follow so why not make your own? If you have the mentality and the personality to want to become the best of the best then Special Forces will treat you right. A Green Beret I spoke to one time told me something very simple. You get what you put in. That is branded into my head ever since. So now I look to find information on SOF and help to prepare me before I leave. I am a senior in Highscool(contracted for Recon) Been in DEP for 6 months.b
 
Welcome.

I will add per site rules you need to change your name to not include USMC until you have earned to title.

Other than that goodluck on your journey.
 
Welcome to SS.

As AKeith has pointed out, you need to change your screen name ASAP, for the reason he has stated.
 
How Would I change my screen name? Do I have to speak to a admin or can I just access it through the profile drop down

If you pm an Admin, and request a name change, that should take care of it for you. Thanks for the quick response. Take some time to read through threads and posts by others. You will likely find answers to many of the questions you have. Early on, is wise to first read more, and post less. Enjoy our site.
