... the truth
His answer?

The Few. The Proud. The Marines.
"It has been said time and time again by former Marines that Marine Corps recruit training was the most difficult thing they ever had to do in their entire lives.

It's tough, but it's so worth it. I'm the proud mom of a now-former Marine. Advice: Enroll in the GI bill for education and save your money while you're on active duty, then if you decide to go to college later it will be without the worry of how to pay for it. Save enough and manage it well and you can go full-time without a job. You'll be glad you made the small sacrifices along the way.
