I loved the Corps, the perfect start to be an adult. Organization and responsibility.

Some people just aren't ready for that, Brother Marcus, and never will be. Thank goodness they didn't re-up. Semper Fi Bro. The guys on both sides of me were drafted into the Marines in 1966 at the Induction Center

I had an uncle who was a gunny with nearly 30 years in who lived in Oceanside near Camp Pendleton. We used to go down from Pasadena and visit periodically. He told me if I was thinking about joining the Corps that I shouldn't. He was an ordnance type who became a GS-13 almost immediately after he retired . . .

My dad was a Marine in Korea, he told me the same thing. Don't go in the Corps. So, naturally, I did.
