Dad - WWII and Korea era Marine.

A bunch of uncles (WWII & Korean War), four brother-in-law (Viet Nan War), and my first mother-in-law to be (Cincinnati DRC Commander's Assistant. :-)

Nobody. I wanted to serve my country

High school teacher who retired from USAF.

My Dad. Careerist, United States Army. Full bird colonel. Greatest influence. Grew up in a military family

Family and friends but mostly myself

My Dad. He joined the Army, worked as a dental tech over in Germany. So I thought it would be a lot of fun to join right out of high school, but I always wanted to be an RN so my Grandmother said I needed to go to college first, then if I still wanted to join, then go in. So I for my BSN and entered as a 2Lt. Great move, thanks Nana!

The most honest Marine Corps Recruiter ever, Ssgt Parker. He told me I could sleep in on the weekends. And, he said I might get beer and pu$$y while at Parris Island. I never got beer, pu$$y or the opportunity to sleep in

My father and brother in law were both in the US Navy so both of them.

I joined when I was 18 during the Korean War. I knew I would be drafted. Nothing influenced me. Just doing my duty to my Country.
