Well of all things. This was sent to me by a USMC friend and it went out to his buddies and one wrote back that he was the father of this kid's company commander and personally knew of this young man. He just made sgt, is in the 3rd Marines at Kaneohe HI, qualled as a sniper, and just passed a PT test and will stay. He did a 2 mile run in 14 min.
And we have a couple graduates from our BSA troop who are muddling their way through college, don't really want to be there and occupy their time playing electronic combat games on their gameboys or whatever they are. I've asked them what about the military and been told that they don't want anybody telling them what to do. With that, I conclude that they are not good candidates for the military and I wish them the best of luck in finding jobs where nobody tells them what to do. I know that young men like this Marine are our true national treasure.
