okay im a junior in highschool and i am going to enlist in the marine corps after i graduate. im going to serve and then finish my schooling (college an such) after that in going to go into training to become an officer well of course this will take a few years and i kno that more than likey by the time ive finished with the military my girl will have moved on im madly in love with her i want to marry her but i kno thats not going to happen and im better off in the military. i hope to gain ranks and someday be a general. u kno then i can look at my life and say i have accomplished something great. ive become something speacial i did something with my life. im not a little punk causing trouble for everyone anymore. another reason i want to join the marines is to get away from my home my "friends" all the people who have caused me so much pain and in the back of my head theres this reoccuring thought of getting shot or blown up and dying.

I think wanting to join the marines is a great thing, however, do it for yourself, not for wanting to prove things to other people. When you try to prove things that way, you may come to resent those people even more if they do not give you the desired reaction. I do have a question though...where are you having these reoccuring thoughts? Are you away at war or are you at school?

Making a career out of the military is a good choice, but only if its truly what you want. As to your gf, have you tried to talk to her about it? You are right, she may choose that she does not want the same things in life as you. However, if you talk to her, you may find out that she does want some of the things you do.

I wish you the best of luck in your decisions!

a) Your motivation and desire to make something of your life is inspiring and exactly what the Marines look for.
b) Make sure you take advantage of every opportunity education, recreation and community service while you're in.
c) God will provide you with a perfect girl, at the perfect time that will make your life heaven---trust me on that one.

Good luck

Sounds like you have a plan for your military career. Have you talked to a recruiter yet to find out what your actual options are? The only reason I ask is that sometimes people think that they will be able to do something right away, but there are prerequisites.

Good luck in the USMC!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

    Anyone else ever had their occipital nerve swell at the back of their head?!I had about 2 weeks of insane pain originating from the base of my skull on the left (not a new pain, just new intensity, persistence and constancy) that then travels up my skull towards my forehead and along the back of my ear.Well, week before last I touched my head one night and realized there was a raised lump there...
