| Wow it really has been a long time since i have been on here, three years to be exact... Time flys by so fast when you think about it.. In three years from being a heart broken junior, one can turn into a fully fleged Marine.. Yes I did join the Corps and yes i will kill people that is my job, to be a combat arms. I look forward to the fight, I have trained long and hard for it. I have moved away from my friends, my family and started over. Homesick? Yes. Tired? Yes. Accomplished?.. Yes.. I am proud of who I am and what I have become. It has always been my dream to protect people, to be the hero.. This is as close as I can get. The USMC is tough but I made it through, I am tougher. At nineteen years old I am illegal to drink, rent a car, or buy a house, but I have the authority and skills to kill.... For some reason, I feel like something is wrong in that area. At sixteen you are seen as immature, a young adult that has no knowlege of the world, but two years later you can live in California and Iraq and Afghanistan all by yourself. No regrets just curious on what the age limit should be. The M16 A2 service rifle can fire a 5.56 millimeter round that is a Ball, Blank, Dummy, or Tracer 1800 meters to drive into his enemy. It is a lightweight, magazine fed, gas operated, air cooled, shoulder fired weapon that with an open sight i can hit a 12 inch target in the center from 500 meters away.. This is my life now, Your best friend, Your worst enemy. Still soft hearted just hard on the outside, thats a united states marine. i will try to remain posting even though this site is truly deserted. I would like to thank Karen for showing me that even though deserted, It is not dead, and neither am I. Comment if you stumble across.. - PFC Joel Bruce |
