The recruiter told us after the ceremony this morning that when he first met Marcus several months ago Marcus was with a large group of kids. Marc is the only one who has followed through. He graduates from high school this May and he doesn't feel ready for college. He wants to get out of Idaho and see some of the world and earn his own keep. It's a four enlistment and he likes the idea of being out on his own sooner rather than later. He doesn't want to still be living with us in three years. As I said we're proud of him and the Coast Guard is a good branch. I spent fourteen years in the Army Reserve/National Guard and Regular Army (1986-2000) and I concluded ,while I was still in, that I should have gone Coast Guard or Air Force. Marc is a good kid. Correction he's a young man now. Yep. Very proud.
