In the next few week ill be going back to Quantico, Va. The second and final phase of my training and screening. What makes the Marines so tough is how they train. They put themselves through tougher situations than what the enemy ever would. An honorable Marine is a man who stands up, no, a man who fights for the USMC core values even in the face of the Marine Corps itself.

On a softer note:
In my quest for connection and community its this alternative nation of Maries I seek to be fulfilled in. Those who know me know I have lived for too long alone. Too long disconnected from something or someone special. The Marines are neither a thing nor a person. As people have chosen to discard my potential for life and love, the Marines chose nothing, Marines just are.
The reference to alone is :Once i get my marines ill have everything I ever wanted.
When we strive to act against the fallies of a fallen world often we will be alone.

The future is still in God’s hands. If I am not to be a Marine, then my prayers are for a strong sign to still be something more.

I think a lot of people have lost touch with their dreams and vision and settled with what others call the right choice or the better looking of your options. So sadly we either look for that or try to look like that ourselves. If I can do anything right in life before I leave this world, I don’t want to sell out. Not at least without a fight.
