No thanks is needed. I wasn't drafted and I didn't do it for free. I did it for a 40k college fund and to get away from a state that I had never left in my 17 years of living. Add in that my dad said I couldn't make it through Marine corps boot camp due to it being way to hard for a fatty like me ... It was the logical choice. The many times I wanted to quite, him saying that always kept me going.

Afterwards though if I hadn't met the woman I have been married to for 17 years now I guranteed would have made a career out of it. Wives and overseas deployments dont go well together
