Why I decided to enlist in the military
I enlisted in the military because I never wanted to go the route that I saw all of my peers going. I knew that I wanted to be different, and so I decided to do the craziest thing I could think of. Traveling the world was also a huge reason for my enlistment, and that dream has definitely come true. Lastly, I wanted to show everyone I knew that I could do anything I set my mind to, and what better way to do that than serving my country?
Why I chose the Marine Corps
I chose the Marine Corps because I felt the call to greatness and the Corps is the epitome of excellence. I strive to be the very best at everything that I do, the Marine Corps settles for nothing less than the best. I see the Marine Corps core values as a standard to live life by and I plan on doing so till the day I die.
