As a vete...Jason,<BR/><BR/> I completely agree with you. As a veteran infantryman from 2/5 I believe you gave this potential Marine good advise in his first steps to becoming a member of our Corps. The part about not taking things personal is such a critical point. In society, depending on where you fit in, that can be one of the largest obstacles a person faces. Now... in the Army people go for years having never figured these things out. I would say this is largely due to the fact that their program is to take anything with a pulse & "basic training" by design does not impose the pressures required to weed out the non hackers and forge the rest, they simply round off a few edges.<BR/><BR/>Semper Fi,<BR/><BR/> RUF<BR/><BR/>"some people spend a lifetime wondering if they ever made a difference, Marines dont have that problem" Ronald ReganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
