I havent yet but i am going to. For when i join my family must be taken care of. I love them they are my life. I need to know my brother isn't going to make the same mistakes i did. I am going to join though. My reasoning is that i want to end up in arlington. I will end up there its what i was born to do. I have wanted it since i was a wee lil tot. But i will try my hardest to prove my worth.

Throughout all these posts my questions have still not been answered but a few times. Why did you all join or think about joining. Why did you back out. I need these answers i apologize for being so rude.

amen again

amen davy i respect what you said its so true

Unfortunately thats why i am joining. I want to end up there. Though not for the glory. I wanted to be buried with those honorable men and women who gave it all up. I want to be in that few. I hope i can one day prove myself worthy enough to be there.

So can u answer another question. What is everyones opinion of Arlington.

I believe it to be the highest honor the military has to offer. All of the brave souls who are buried there are of the noblest kind. I want to be considered that.

i dont think anyone has a say in who should join the military but that individual. I have the dream of ending up in Arlington. Thats all i want from life. And i am gonna make it there one day.

Hey everyone i am posting this because i wanna know why people joined the military. I have my own goals for the marines and one day i will achieve them. Please don't get mad for me asking. I just want to know how you all thought. What you are thinking to this day. I mean no disrespect. I just need some other view points. If you have the time of day please post a reply to this. i would love to know what people think.
Thanks and have a great day.

Too true is that statement Rob. I agree with you fully. I have had
more experiences than i would like to have had. I know there is no price
on human life

Thank you for your service to our country Dale. I hope to soon pay my
dues for the future generations

Have you ever noticed how things can go great one second then leave you
on your face the next.

How when in love nothing seems to bring you down.

When at home with your loved ones it doesnt seem like anything bad can
happen.

When holding someone you love in your arms, it feels like time stands
still.

How the last five minutes at work never seem to go fast enough.

I notice these things. And to be able to notice them is my privilege as
an american. This post is to give support to all the troops fighting
and giving blood to lay it all on the line for my freedom. I feel like
they are just not getting thanked enough. It feels like america forgets
about the boys that are the foundation of freedom. I appreciate
everything your doing for my family and I. I wanna thank all the
veterans for serving their time for us. I wanna give thanks for all the
people that overlook all the military does for this United States.
You guys will always be in my heart.
Hoping a safe return and a happy life

Yes and it is by choice. I would definately consider a relationship
like that. I plan to keep mine until i find the right person. It has
to truly be right.

If you look at it from a statistical point of view. There are over
80,000 homeless children. And alot of them still have their parents but
alot don't. Those are just the children that have turned up. Who is to
say there isn't more. I view adoption as ok because your not only
helping a child get the life that it has so long never known. Those
children are just purely amazing. No real sense of greed. I think it
would be great to see the look on one of those children's faces when
they have a home cooked meal to eat. A bed of their own. All the
little luxuries that we ourselves were lucky to have growing up. And
quite honestly how can any human being say it is against god's will to
adopt. Is there anyone of a sound human nature that can honestly say
they know what god is planning. I don't know. I will let him guide me.
But i believe it is more god's will to save a life from poverty and all
those harshnesses. Than it would be to have one of your own. Now don't
get me wrong i want a child of my own but i would be just as happy to
adopt a child.

Don't know about the cute part. LOL but im single

Hi my name is Shaun. I am posting this topic because you really never
know what is going to happen in your life. One minute your ready to
graduate or things are going absolutely great for you. Then comes the
bad news. I just want people to enjoy every moment that life gives
them. Whether it be with your friends, family, acquaintances, etc. I
met this guy the beginning of my senior year in high school. We started
hanging out and found out that we were so much alike its scary. I don't
ever have one regret about hanging out with Nathan. I loved that guy
like a brother. In fact i still do and i always will. Just this past
Friday he passed away from lack of oxygen to the brain due to pneumonia.
I don't have any regrets about knowing Nathan. He always kept me out of
trouble. The only regret that i do have is that we didn't hang out
enough. This isn't a story meant to bring anyone down. I just want
people to know that they need to let whomever it may be that they love
as a brother/sister, mother/father, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc. Spend as
much time as you can with them. One day they may be ripped from your
life far sooner than you had hoped. I am not looking for sympathy here.
I learned a lesson. If you love somebody TELL THEM. They need to know.
If you are reading this thinking i am some kind of a nut job. I am
sorry for having offended you. I am not meaning to offend anyone by
this post. I am just trying to let some experience and knowledge out so
others won't make the same mistake i did. Well I want everyone who
reads this and those that don't to have a great day and enjoy life.
Don't worry so much about little things Your loved ones are always there
for you. I know Nathan is still here for me. Maybe not physically but
i bet he is helping me out from above.
I hope you all have a great adventure through life and make the best of
it.
Best Wishes,
Shaun
