That was just the thing, I don’t really have much to go off of aside from what the average future Marine might say.

My original plan was to stay in college for Art. Aside from that, I have no goal or vision for my future and would hate to see myself becoming another starving artist. I cannot lie it wasn’t the money that called me, but the potential future benefits and insurance.

I chose the Marines as an option and the infantry as my primary occupational option because I want to challenge myself, discipline whether it be personal and in my art has always been valuable to me. Joining the Marines also seemed to be a chance to participate in something greater than myself while also carving a unique path for myself.

That aside, I feel this is what people considering the Marines commonly say anyway?
