| Optio | Post; Favorite Part of being a military memberMine is knowing that I am doing something where I can improve myself as a person, improve my career, hopefully help someone along the way, also I can provide a good life and example for my family, and finally but not least important how many people can say they serve their country each and everyday. Those are my reasons.

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | my favorite part of being a military member? It was when we ate together..in the dining facility...field kitchen..or against the tire of a truck with an MRE. It wasn't the food so much..but I miss the companionship. And the stories seemed to go better when served along with the "Mystery Meat"!

| Optio | I like that: It wasn't the food so much..but I miss the companionship. And the stories seemed to go better when served along with the "Mystery Meat"! Something I would have never thought of, but now that I do it is so true. |

| Milites Gregarius | I enjoy the fact that all Marines everywhere (active, reserve, retired, or even dead) are my brothers and that regardless of age we will be there for one another.
