Well I know it was the money that attracted me. 90 dollars every two weeks. I was making 180 a week as a civilian before i joined. I guess it was the fact that i looked forward to bootcamp so much or the fact that I looked forward to being called nasty names.I love it when US marines are called "mercenarys". Do you have any idea how much they get paid? i am pretty sure almost all of them could make much more money in a much safer job.
All we ever wanted and Im sure the same can be said today is a simple thank you for serving instead of ridicule. Ours is to do or die ours not to question why. Soldiers obey orders. We were no different from the Marines who served in WW2 and todays Marines carry on the same traditions.
