What was the first thing you thought of when you read the word marines. It's for a research project.

I thought of a cousin of mine who was a Marine in the late 1960's and early 1970's... he was the stereotype image of a Marine... tall, muscular, square jaw, close cut hair, and confident. I also remember him telling me I could not make it in the Corps because I was too small. Imagine his surprise when, after graduating Marine bootcamp in 1989 I showed up at his house wearing my dress blues and grinning from ear to ear. That was 17 years ago and now I'm a Marine Major, praciticing law in the Corps. This isn't a long piece, but I hope it helps. Good luck.

I was an Army brat, and when I would young, I remember seeing a Marine on base. I knew about that time I wanted to be a part of that.
Can't remember the first time I read the word, but I remember that moment.
Better question, ask what they thought when they were standing on those yellow footprints.
I was think "what have I gotten myself into now?"
Best years of my life though!
Semper Fi.

I thought of my dad. When I was a kid, I didn't really understand what it was to be a Marine, but when I enlisted, and I earned my title, I had the biggest rush I've ever had in my life. As tacky as it may sound, I returned home. The Marines in my mind have always been my family, and I do my best to try to live up to their expectations.

I think of my future career; after I graduate college I plan on becoming a Marine Officer.

Semper Fidelis that is Latin for Always Faithful.
Humm, sounds like something Congress would do well to look into doesn't it? Boy, that would be novel!

Island hopping in the Pacific during WW2. It was dirty, dangerous work and I am grateful for them. This coming from an Army puke.
