I wanted off the farm, wasn't mature enough for college and wanted the GI bill for later. I lived with some of the best men in the world and some of the worst SOBs too. If the officers and NCOs were decent there was a feeling of unity and pride hard to describe. Bad officers and drunk NCOs could make it feel like prison. The Marines would give a kid the responsibility he could handle. Once 3 of us 18 YOs were running airstrikes and contact fire missions in 3 foreign countries at the same time. As a kid I believed in the Vietnam war, looking back now it was a waste of lives, time and treasure. I am grateful for the lessons the USMC taught me, it is a whole different thought process.</p></blockquote><p></p>
