I promise to stand up and defend her with you till the day I die. That’s my only promise I can make.
Finally The games can begin:) how many people stare at my unicorn wearing a Marine shirt XD 1 point for norms. 5 points for anyone wearing an airport uniform. And 10 for anyone in the military. Something has to keep me occupied for three hours and this shirt makes it possible <3 Let the Airport games begin! sidenote: the games are not the reason for taking the unicorn or the shirt being on the unicorn. The unicorn is very special to me and the shirt is too. They both comfort me. So save ur dumbass comments for someone who fucking cares :D
Oh hia! What are you doin there. :) made my 45 minute trip worthwhile. I got to blab about the Marine Corps and piss off my sister! Fun times people!
Wow..
Everytime I start doubting myself with the Marines, the fucking commercial randomly comes on. Legitly im watching FAMILY GUY and discussing the Marines with my sister. Then fucking BAM! Commercial comes on and its the fucking Marines. “Which way will you run” ok fate. I get it. Third time this month. Im done doubting myself. Ima join! Your freaking me and my sister out damn.
« They (Women Marines) don’t have a nickname, and they don’t need one. They get their basic training in a Marine atmosphere, at a Marine Post. They inherit the traditions of the Marines. They are Marines. »
Commandant of the Marine Corps, 1943
Damn this heart of mine..
I can’t believe you leave in two days. You act like you’re emotionless but I know better then that Devin. We’ve had countless fights about it. I no longer love you. Love is such a misused word and I can’t allow myself to love you any longer. When I do, you break me down to nothing. We use to talk about falling in love.You thought it was funny that I was willing to stay with you while you lived your dream. I was scared cause I knew this day would come. It hurts to see you go, but it’ll be better in the long run. I will continue to listen to your advice. I will follow my heart and I refuse to allow anyone to slow me down. Maybe, just maybe, i’ll see you again as Private Campbell. Maybe next time I see you, i’ll be a Marine too.
What I miss the most right now…
I can safely say I miss a lot of things right now. I miss my uniform and I miss SSarg and Mas Sarg and Lt Col. I miss Manohonah and I miss Lopez. God knows I miss Devin horribly but truthfully (and sadly) I miss Duran and his damn cadences. I miss how motivational that kid was. Where as Lopez (who is our fucking Platoon Cpt and supposed to get us motivated and ready) would always find a way to get me fucking hurt (Tripped me while marching first day I wore my boots. Ran me into a wall. Hit me with a jump rope and left welts on my arm. Ran into me and I slammed my wrist into a pullup bar. Knocked a chair out from underneath me that I was STANDING ON BUT caught me. Threw a rifle full force at me when I noticebly wasnt ready..bruised chest. Hit me in the face with the fucking flag.) Dangerous kid but I love him to death. In the absolute end, Duran was the one who constantly made sure I was pumped and ready. He called me a bootlicker to piss me off and make me run after him (damn Lt Col for giving him the idea) and he held on to me when I cried my eyes out during “Taking Chance” Through multiple injuries (half because im the clumsiest cadet you will ever meet and half because Lopez was plotting my death) he wiped my tears and blood and told me to “Walk it Off” I miss that kid because lately ive been completely useless. I lack motivation. Of course im sure this will pass as soon as I fly my ass home and realize ive gained 10000 pounds, but until then I miss him the absolute most. And this concludes my rant. Semper Fi
