Mine always wanted to join and so I asked him to wait for a Republican CIC, he didn’t and to join the Corps to get the best training. He did. He’s doing very well. Good job, married, bought at house. 24 yrs old but 70 yrs old inside.

It was perfect for clocking idiots on the helmet.
A fine “good morning” greeting to the traitors first.
