Today was a lot of fun

Post by The Cleric »

Today, I enlisted in the Marine Reserves. It was a great day of waking up at 3:30am, and sitting around for hours at a time. However, when they swear you in... Damn, it feels good. So I get shipped off in early June, just after I finish high school. Anyone else in the Marines/can offer any advice?

Good for you, and we do have some Marines about the board.

No offense but the idea of charging machine gun nests was never my idea of fun. I prefered teh idea of waving to them as they depart for the beach :D

In a year, my friend may be joining your ranks. :D While I stay in the comforts of the AF. :P

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
