..who says that life isnt scary is a fool. How is it that we are so close and mind you, we've been both waiting for this day to come so we can leave the Marine Corps behind us ,.. I am, scared shitless of being a civilian again. Now, some would be like " What do you know about being committed to the Marine Corps?" or " Your husband is in the Corps, not you" , and while I try to understand it, most people dont realize that families are the ones that keep Marines going. While we didnt sign the contract with the Corps , we signed it with our better halfs. For better or worse, and ...in the Corps it can get worse. Work schedule , all the bullshit that the Corps likes to pull on MArines..it gets tough.
The thing that annoys me the most is when people think just because we are in the military , you must be rich.They dont believe you when you tell them how much a Marine actually makes. Paycheck to paycheck...still think that's living the dream?
