Here here. During the first couple years of my enlistment I was a "Lifer" and just plain moto. Made the Corps my life and such... But after a couple pumps "At the tip of the spear", a few shrapnel wounds, and losing too many friends the Marine Corps couldn't pay me enough to go through four more years of 7 months on 6 off rotational deployments. Such a high op tempo really sucks the fun out of life.
P.S - Thanks for the cover in Fallujah
