Hey everyone... I just got out of the Marine Corps and have tried construction and a couple of other jobs but can't stand who I look at in the mirror... This civillian thing is tough after 3 combat tours... Took some MAJOR pride hits... I am not one to spin my wheels... I realy enjoy helping people... I have recently applied to a department here in Georgia... I am looking forward to possibly one day being able to be a part of something BIGGER than me... I also just want to thank all of you for protecting our country and keeping my family safe when I could not... I assume there is a lot of comradery between officers and that is something I need... The Marine Corps was a way of life... I see similarities in Law Enforcement... I hope that one day I can join the ranks and continue to preserve the country I love most... God Bless all of you...

Thanks for your service. Oscarmitre's observation that we fight like cats and dogs is mostly accurate, except it's words that fly instead of fur. ;)

Welcome Marine!
Definition of a veteran:
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."
That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

USMCMike,
Welcome to RP from Pensacola, Florida. Oh, and Semper Fi! I am right there with you about the civilian world being rough... Heck, I spent 21 years and some change in, talk about a HUGE DIFFERENCE!!
Thanks much for your service to our wonderful country and best of luck to you in pursuing yet another honorable career! It's quite the rollercoaster ride!
