Re: Enlisted Marines, current and former
I don't understand.
Why do they have to be that mean? I would cry so hard.
Sorry some of you had to go through that.
Thanks for your service.

Watch the first 20 minutes or so of Saving Private Ryan and ask yourself if anyone could function successfully in such an environment (thus avoiding all or some of your entire unit getting killed on the beach) unless that person had successfully dealt with adversity like that shown in the video. Personally, I believe the troops on the beach would die if they hadn?t essentially survived hellish circumstances in the past. As the Krauts once said, ?The harder the training, the easier the war; the easier the training, the harder the war.?

I know, it's just awful though. I understand.
It just hurts to watch- it makes my heart heavy.

It's odd though. For several years after boot camp, I had dreams where I tried to pose as a civilian and rejoin the USMC just so I could do boot camp all over again. I can't explain it, but I know others have had the same experiences. One thing for sure, when I hear civilians at work or elsewhere talking about being pushed to their limits by things minor in comparison, I think that they have no idea what their limits are, because they have never really come close to their real limits. I feel more equipped to handle tough situations now because it's never as tough as what I recall getting through in the USMC.
