For those who didn't know, I'm an ex-Marine, proudly served three years for the Corps,

Unfortunately, I was discharged for medical reasons, and I'm out of my 02 gear, and back in my civies. I miss the military, despite many notorius claims, Uncle Sam does know how to take care of his own. I learned to be more responsible, be independant, and how to take orders. I was able to pay for college, live on my own, and experience the feeling of being apart of a brotherhood. Once a Marine, always a Marine.

Not that being a civillian again sucks. It's nice to be able to return to your own place without a someone yelling at you for being past curfew, or why you haven't sewed your chevrons on right, or how you're supposed to wear a shirt in the chow hall.

But I miss the structure, the discipline, and most of all... My PX. It's wonderful to buy games tax free and at a discount at that. I mean, you have no idea how cheap stuff is at a PX!! Jesus Christ there was so much to buy, so little time. And I was making good money in the Corps, reeeeal good money.

Oh well, rest up, heal up, finish school, and I can go back and be a Leader of Marines. (Officer for those new to the jargon)

Edited for less mindless banter.
