I've been asked many times why I joined the military, but rarely why I joined the Navy in particular. I joined the Navy mainly because they seemed to be tough enough for me to improve myself, and I always enjoyed being around water. Also, my step brother is currently a Lieutenant, having commissioned as a Mustang and I suppose I feel somewhat compelled to follow in his footsteps. So I ask you, what made you join your branch?

Airborne Combat Medic?
It was obviously the gratuitous sex, free alcohol and the road to fame and fortune.

It wasn't a choice of which branch to serve as much as it was a calling. I was born to be a Marine.
