well honestly I'm excited about the education (my MOS is interpreting Korean and Afghani) but in all reality I feel more duty to do it than anything. I actually considered the duty first and one day I was like "holy crap, they're going to 'teach' me interpreting for free. ... Alright! :D" lol
I tried explaining to my parents how I felt and they didn't take it too well lol. I explained to them that 9/11 happened when I was 9 years old and I basically grew up watching a war happen and I'm tired of just watching and letting it happen and I'm ready to do something about it. And they're all like "that's not you, (my name here)! You're a musician and your makeup is nothing of a Marine! They'll turn you into a killer! blah blah blah" and.. Honestly, that's what I told myself for a really long time and one day I just made up my mind and if I die, so be it. If not, that's swell and dandy too. lol But I am not afraid of death. (b'-')b
