Who Influenced You To Take The Oath And Join The Military? - Login & Share to Win!

I grew up In The Bronx I see military as an escape and change of changing the circumstances of my life , best thing I e dry did

Ronald Reagan

When I joined it seemed like everyone was against it for one reason or another. On second thought, that's probably why I went ahead and joined. Anyway I always considered myself honor bound to serve.

No one. Did all on my own.

I did not really talk to anyone about the joining prior to enlisting. I looked over all my options and that was that.

My higher power, because I wanted to travel to various countries to embrace others and cultures.

Me, Myself and I. I was headed down a bad road and need a change in my life. I did it for myself. It was the best choice I have ever made in my life.

who helped me join. well helped me realize I needed to get my s#%+ together, Dad and mom. they where losing their house and I was a college student bumming off them. when my told me the truth and that we going back to grandma to live in the back I had to grow up and make a grown up decision and be apart of the family do my part. Military had it up and downs. a lot of downs mostly. but I thank God for my ups and use them to take care of my family God has blessed me with now that I am out. married to a vet as well. we look up thank God for every breath everyday. We might still struggle but we thank the brothers and sisters we have meet and civilians that have helped us though encouraging us to never give up. No one gets left behind, Hooah! Love pray and keep the faith. God bless.

Probably no one more than John Wayne, John Agar, Forest Tucker, Wally Cassell, Richard Jaeckel, Arthur Franz, Martin Milner, and the others who played Marines in "The Sands of Iwo Jima"..Van Heflin, Also Ray, James Whitmore, Tab Hunter, Raymond Massey and others who played Marines in "Battle Cry". I was one of a trio of ushers at the State Theater in Milford, Massachusetts, who watched those movies dozens of times. All three of us joined the Marine Corps in 1956.
