Today is pretty much a lazy day. I had to run and do some errands which was only supposed to take about an hour but ended up taking 3 hours. So now I'm back home and trying to cram more info into my head for the ASVAB tomorrow. It's going to be a long boring day full of the oh so famous, hurry up and wait. I'm confident I'll at least do average if not better but I would really like to score high just to give me a wide range of MOS's to choose from. As of this moment I'm currently looking into any of the 03XX fields. My parents are extremely against Infantry, but lets face it. The back bone of the Marine Corps is the Infantry. It always has been that way. Now I don't want to sound like I'm demeaning any other Marine who isn't an Infantryman. They are all equally honorable and receive every ounce of respect from my family and I.
I haven't quite pin pointed why I want to join Infantry yet. I just feel like deep down in my soul that that's where I belong. And to be perfectly honest, it scares the hell out of me. I'm extremely intimidated by all of this because I have A) not been on my own like this yet B) never experienced anything like this yet and C) come to terms that I very well could die in this profession. However, after coming to terms with these and other facts, I still want this more then anything. I want the unknown outcome, the extremely hard challenges that could make or break me, and the Honor and Pride that come with this achievement. I want to be apart of the Marine Corps not only because they are the best of the best but because of the brotherhood. Those you meet in the Marine Corps are your brothers for eternity, for even when you die you'll meet them in heaven, guarding its streets.
So again, I haven't quite come up with a good excuse for the Infantry. The best I can say is it was just meant for me. It's like when you meet the love of your life that you get married to and live happily ever after. That's how I feel about the Marine Corps and the Infantry. It's an unexplainable love, that's just there. You can't explain it but it burns inside of you like ten million fires.
Alright, enough of this poetic b.s.
