Why did I chose the United States Marine Corps to go into? Well, I wanted to go to college and felted like I also needed to help my country after 9/11. The military seemed like the best place to do both things. I picked the the Marine Corps because I did thought that there would be some action with it, I would not get bored with it (Ha Ha).So here are some pictures from the sand box (more military talk for the desert). With some of the things that I see and hear from over here thrown in. This is also to let everyone back home know that we thank all of you for the packages and letters from home that are sended. These little things help us feel closer to home and our love ones.
