WOW, I had a few disagreements with Southron Boy before but I totally agree with what he said. You better have your head on right if your going to be a Marine or Soldier in today's world. If 4 and out is what your thinking, you might be in for the shock of your life. Think hard about Afghanistan and what you see on the news, because it can become real right quick. Your a little naive it seems and nothing can wake you up like reveille at 0400 every morning. Captain in the Marines "sounds" and is very honorable. It isn't just given to you. Meet and greet some Marines that have been to the hot spots and then decide. Thinking about it in bed is a whole lot different than regretting it in a cot. The new MRE's aren't that bad though, especially the spaghetti. Still, it ain't Ma's cookin.
