I’m a marine at heart. Too old to prove it now, but the discipline and strength they show… I dream about. I have no idea why I want to be yelled at and crawl under live rounds and get the s*** kicked out of me, I just do. It’s too late. My buddy served and while he does have PTSD and sometimes he seems crazy depressed and I worry about his mental health- he is tougher than nails and a model of what I want to be. You just dont get that by being a civvy. You have to live it. For the few and the proud- thank you and happy Memorial Day weekend.
