Pvt. Jeremy Markham U.S. Marines

Thats right. As of today I enlisted in the U.S. Marines. It took a lot of thinking and decision making. I spent all night talking it over with my family and friends. My mother and father stand by my 100 percent. I know some of you here were not for me joining and I understand why and I appreciate your opinions. But this was something that I needed to do. I wont be leaving for about 3 months so I do still have time back here at home, to get stuff together, take care of bills, store stuff, etc. I have enlisted under Combat Arms. I have to decide soon if I am going to do Infantry/Tank/Artillery, Combat Support, or Fire Direction/Control. Am I scared? No, oddly I am not. I am up to the challenge and I am more than prepared to be a US Marine. For those of you who think that I made a gung-ho decision, I didnt. I have been thinking about this for months and months and just a few days ago mentioned it here on HS.
