Bruce said , The Army(military) will make you a warrior. But before they can make you, first they must BREAK you. Some people don't handle this well.
True , in boot camp you will find your self at a point were you are a quivering mass of uncertinty with drillinstructers yelling at you for NO DAMN reason . Some folks FLIP THE FUCK OUT !!! Ever seen "Full Metal Jacket" ? Marine boot camp was not that far off from that flick . My nephue asked me " did they hit you all the time like that ?" , they didn't , the drillinstructers just "GOT YOUR ATTENTION" ever now and then . Justified ?? Not always . But you DAMN sure knew they were WATCHING !!!! I saw more than one person freak out , and after ward in the fleet every now and then some body would crack , like an egg . But about half way thru boot camp they start building you back up to to be 10' tall and bullet proof. I have to tell you that it feels good , your walking TALL , chest is puffed out , etc,,,,,.
But as they said at graduation
" A Marine you are now , and a Marine you will ALLWAYS BE !!!"
