I joined thru the delayed entry program in my senior year of high school. A month after graduation I was off to basic training in MCRD San Diego, Ca. After basic, I went home for two weeks. My world......it had changed. It was the same, but I viewed things differently. I didn't know what the future held for me, but I knew no matter what it was I could and would handle it. Like a man. And I was ready for it. Through out all my life there has been trial and tribulation. Heart ache, pain, and suffering.
Not as much as some people have had to endure. Way more than others have had to. But I'm still here. Everyday I wake up and I'm ready to take this world on by the horns. Until the day I take my very last breath I will always improvise, adapt, and overcome! I owe this attitude to 3 things in my life. God, my upbringing and the United States Marine Corps! Semper Fi!!
