Marine CorpsEssay Preview: Marine CorpsReport this essayOk so most or all of my reasons for joining the Marines are as followsWarning, read only if you have time to, there is a lot. 🙂Ideal- The Marines Embody more of my personal views and ideals then the other branches.Loyalty, I respect and love the idea of loyalty to a person or persons…or a cause. To be totally loyal to something without question but to also love and honor that something, that idea is something I long for and adore.
Which leads me to Honor as well. I have, since I discovered it in middle school I believe, always respected the idea of Honor. It means a lot to me. Its ideal a person can build and guide their
beliefs on as well as their standards. Honor Goes hand and hand with Loyatly. To be loyal to a cause greater then my own is one reason that drove me to the Marines. Working to pay the next bill day in and day out is not what I want. My drive so far has been merely to survive and get the next fix(video games, sports, music, etc)
HONOR:Taking a stand for something you believe in, fighting for those you love, so that they dont have to. Sacrificing many things so that your loved ones dont have to. Fighting till the end, when you think there is nothing left and then finding the courage to and inner strength to keep going. Making in impact no matter the odds against you. Faith in those around you and your beliefs. Mastering your fears, for fear is a weakness. Knowing your emotions, they can be a fond ally or black hole. Being prepared for a fight is one thing, looking for it is another. Self-awarness, not self-centered. Know yourself but do not become enthralled with it. Discipline. Self-control, physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional. Confidence, In yourself and to lead those that would follow. (this is what I believe Honor is)

[quote=Mormon_Wizard_A1]I am the true and true one. When I say that I dont think of myself as a coward, i just have that same feeling. Being strong, confident, and independent… I don’t see myself as a coward, but I am trying to be strong. By fighting the battles of these past few months, I feel it myself. So yes, sometimes my best and worst days may come, but it will be on a different level than these last, and better times. Let’s give the others the strength to fight us all, and let every day of them make a difference to the future. I am the one who can take your life, it was one. Just as I am the one who will take each one of you. Just as I am the one who will help you find peace, hope, love, and peace for the good of others. That is why I am so proud. I will never allow my words, or ideas to get in the way of what I have done for the better of others. I hope every and every one that helps me out will always try and help. If you can give me so much, and I am so thankful you like that, I will always cherish the time, care and gratitude we all put into our lives. So don’t hold me accountable and judge me, just as when I lost a parent with cancer, I lost everyone. And please don’t judge me by what I give. A broken family is just that. So forgive me if I’ve shown you something not taken too kindly and I’m gonna show you a new hope in the eyes of people. (hint: that’s what I want) It’s just so amazing in my life that I’m at peace. I am so grateful people are giving me the chance to continue to care and support me. And please don’t be so quick to criticize me because of what I have done. I made a difference so that others will not have to take away their own life. Thank you [quote=Mormon_Wizard_A1]For you that say you are going to change, I say what? You will change as I work. I have come true to this and given you a new life. Please take some time to appreciate it. I know nothing so much as you. I am your servant to the same great things you created for me. So please take the time and understand the fact that we will fight to make everything better. If you have questions concerning this post, please feel free to ask these people. I am going to get you out of this situation and I am going to take every penny that you have given. I love you all so, and I will continue to help others I believe will be in the best for you. (quote=HOLDFERK]Well to be honest, I can’t really thank you enough for holding me back. You put in the work that I want and I don’t see you stopping now. I hope you have all of my life on the side of your side

Honor, to me, are these and SO much more that I cannotput into words. Honor is Pride, Love, Loyalty, Sincerity, Faith, Strength, a standard, a code of conduct, a belief, a cause, Spiritual…and so much more then I or words could possibly describe. Honor Embodies a lot to me. The Marines offer me this. The other forces scoff at such an idea. I want to be a part of something that respects and admires such traits as I have and believe in. Again the Marines offer me this. I know not all Marine respect my ideas, but at least I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ll look forward to meeting and becoming a part of a group, however small or big, that has the same beliefs and ideals. Im tired of being around people that scoff and laugh at such things. I have met very people that respect the idea of Honor. The Honor that I think and believe in, has given me a strong sense of Morals and Ethics. Those that know me well will see this. Over the years it has deteriorated a bit. Going into something that respects and teaches this will help me build up to…and past the standard I have set for and used to have for myself. The Marines are a Brotherhood. Modern day Knights, I know not all are. Infact most probably arent. All the branches are infested with sex crazed drunkards, the Marines especially. Not all are like that, and I look forward to finding the select few that are not, but share my same ideals and thoughts. I plan on joining and setting a new standard.
Pride, I want to be a part of something that has an immense amount pride. That practically drips with it. But not just any kind of pride. But a type of Pride that goes beyond that simple emotion that gets people into trouble. Though its still possible 🙂 but a Pride of Belonging and Accomplishment. I yearn for both and seek them through the Marines. Whether I find them is yet to be determined.
My Family, Ah…yes, probably the most contraversial because the military is notorious for not being very family friendly. I understand that. Im not joining to have a great family life, Im joining to be the begin a great family life. My family is a mess. A lot of you that know me understand this. I know the Military life is a hard one. BUT, its what I feel I will learn and gain in the Marines that will give the things I need to develop the means to a great family. It will take Faith and love in God, Discipline, Determination and ambitions. I feel that joining the Marines and serving a great amount of time in there (10-20 years) will help me build the standard and foundation my family needs. My family lies in ruins, and I am taking it upon myself to renew and build a new foundation for the future of my family. I want my family name to be respected and known for the good things its accomplished, not the mistakes its made. its going to take a lot of hard work, determination and above all patience. This is something I truelly look forward too.
Conflict, I am drawn to it. I will get this in the Marines. And the training to deal with it. I used to wrestle in high school. Something I missed terrribly. I didn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
do it for myself then. I did for others. Had I wrestled because I really wanted to, I would have stuck with it and become one of the best. I dont blame anyone, I just lacked a lot of things in high school I now have. In high school I didn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
have any ambition. . Because of this I didn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
work very hard or diligently in all that I did. It wasn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\till the end till I got a taste of what hard work and victory can do for you.I miss wrestling because of the pure challenge of it, the pure competitiveness
