Why did you join the Army?!?

If your main reason for joining is to prove yourself as a man, then join the Marines. I have a friend who joined the Army to prove the same thing. He regrets not joining the Marines. The Marines have more training and are usually more disciplined. Yes it is scary, everyone is scared and nervous before they go, it's human nature. It sounds like if you don't do it then you will go the rest of your life regretting it. Join the Marines and you will become a confident, proud man for the rest of your days.
