[@MikeELtheGamerLPShow]

During my senior year of high school, I decided to join the military. I talked to an Army recruiter and a Navy recruiter. They offered me the same things like paying for college and learning a trade. Then a Marine Corps recruiter contacted me and said they offer the same tangible benefits, but they were the hardest branch that would kick my ass, disassemble me and put me back together. Why would I agree to that? Because he told me the uniform would get me laid. I was 17 years old and didn't think things through. I have no regrets. My time in the Corps was some of the best years of my youth. Also, crayons aren't bad if you remove the wrapper. My favorite flavor is purple.
