I'd look at it this way: If she really loves you, she'll want you to be happy, and she wouldn't want to hold you back from doing what you want to do. If she leaves you over this, she wasn't the one for you.

I believe he said he wanted to work with the AF Medical Service as an Industrial Hygiene Technician, but after your comment, he's going to go Marines.

If he scares that easily, that might not be a good idea.

I heard the same thing, RnderSafe, and that he wanted to hear some stories about the AF, but he probably only wants to hear gung-ho Leatherneck stories now.

This is true. The Corps is not a place for someone to gohalf hearted. But from earlier statements yousaid you have always wanted to be in The Marines. Do it. She will stay or she will go. If she stays fine if she goes find another, and another and another. Lots of women only one Marine Corps

If thats what he wants i've the book for him Swift Silent and Surrouned (once i find the url for it i'll post it, because you can only get it at that website.)

if you do im not sure if they do this any more but when you first get out to paris island u follow yellow footprints on the ground once youre put in formation if they come by and right a number on ur hand and it begins with a 3 ur in for HELL if its a 1 its a good bit better and if its a 2 its alright the sort u into 3 dif squads im not sure if the do this nemore but just pray to god u dont get 3rd squad

and also ive heard that u have little cards and when the drill instructor is gettin in ur face and all u can pull out the card and go ur hurting my feelings well not really but there are little cards that u can pull out when drill instructor pushes u around my uncle who was a marine says that thats for pussies because when he was there they could slap u around and never hear nething about it

No 1328, there are no such cards in the Marine Corps. The Army tried stress cards for a bit at a couple of its basic training locations.
