What Are Some Thoughts From Basic Training! Please Share!
Its been since 1989/1990 since Basic Combat Training. I remember at a M-60 machinegun range; Drill Sergeant told me during in-ranks inspection with my weapon to tell them I come from my mother, instead of my hometown. Wow did I upset a lot of Drill Sergeants at FT. Sill, OK. The Platoon paid for my remarks.

My first thought hitting Parris Island was what in the world have I gotten myself into? Upon being honorably discharged, I looked at the paper and thought four tough years and all I get is this piece of paper, what a rip off, lol. Actually I felt like a chapter in my life was ended to soon. I only got out because I had gotten married and my wife didn't want me to stay in. I should have stayed single and built a full 20 yrs

SPC Margaret Higgins - Ma'am I don't regret it to the point that I dwell on it, and I have made a successful, rewarding life. I do contribute my successes to two great influences , one is My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and the lifestyle I learned to live while in the Corps. Always faithful, Never quit, determination to overcome, the seven P system, lead by example, and many other traits that the Marine Corps instilled in me at a young age. I was two months 17 years old when I joined.
