"I joined the Marine Corps in August 2009, graduated boot camp in November 2010, and arrived aboard Camp Pendleton March 11, 2011. I have enjoyed every day of my enlistment and am sad to leave, but it is my time to leave. Potential Marines should be ready for lost sleep, physical training, and know how to make the best of every situation!"
