Essay On Becoming A Marine Corps

571 Words3 Pages

Have you ever just thought about going to other countries and being able to say you served your country over there? Well I have and that is what I plan on doing right after High school. I am going to go to the Marine Corps and serving my country the way I feel I have to serve it.
Going into the Marine Corps is something I have been trying to do, since I figured out what the Marines were. The Marine Corps is an elite branch of the military that requires hard work and dedication. In order for me to become a Marine I have to work as hard as I can, for as long as I can. Becoming a marine is a challenge most people do not want to accept. Marines are held to a standard that not very many people can hold up to. However I am willing to except the challenge and dedicate my life to going into the marines.
In the Marines I want to go into infantry and become a machine gunner or become a rifle man. All it takes for me to become eligible to enter the draft for the Marine Corps is to receive a high school diploma. Other than the high school education I will have to enter infantry school to become a machine gunner. It does not take much to get accepted into the Marine Corps. All I have to do is get my priorities straight and work hard, and have a lot of dedication to become a United States Marine. …show more content…

A rifle man takes a lot of dedication to become. The reason I want to be a rifle man is because they are one of the best infantry groups in the United States military. Everyone I have ever told about me wanting to be a marine they all tell me I cannot do it, so that is another reason I want to go so bad. I want to prove everyone that has ever told me “I cannot do it” wrong. I want to make sure I get to come back and look them in the eyes and say “I told you I would come back a marine.” They are going to be

    Throughout my childhood and adolescent years, I always had a dream of joining the military. Though it was a choice, I still did not have any inside information of what it would be like, and the requirements and specifics of the Army. It wasn't until 2005 when I decided to join the United States Army that all my concerns and questions were answered by a recruit; and I was guided through the whole process to enter and prep for the Army. If it was not for the confidences and motivation of my recruiter back in 2005, I might have not made my leap and probably would not be in this uniform today. Becoming a member of the United States Army recruiting team means having a physical and mental toughness in order to perform efficiently.
