I was once a civilian until I wanted to change my self and make my self into something better. My life had been given to me every step of the way, but I was looking for something. I was looking for that one challenge that would that would test my mind, body and soul. I was awaiting the one thing to change my life forever. Then I saw a Marine commercial and it sent chills down my spine. I knew that's what I wanted to do. When I got to the birthplace
of the Devil Dog and stood on those yellow foot prints and looked to the left and right of me, I had no idea what was in store for me. I knew they were going to tear me down and build me back up to something sharp and crisp - A UNITED STATES MARINE!!!! Now I'm talking to you as I have done it all, through the moment of truth, through all the sweat, tears and hard work that I was put through. Through all the pain that was put in me. Through all the moments I wanted to quit and never let myself. Through all the long hikes that I wanted just to throw my pack off and say I quit!!! I never did though. Then there came that day when what I wanted the most was placed in my hand. It was the Eagle, Globe and Anchor. I had done it!!! I WAS NOW A MARINE.

Congratulation on becoming a Marine. I can't wait until Feb. 11th when my son will too realize his dream of being a United States Marine.
