I'm Going to War.

[PhysX]

After 10 months of specialized training in engineering and weapons the Marine Corps has called me to the war in Afghanistan. Currently stationed on Okinawa Island, Japan, I'll officially be sent to war in May of next year. Between now and then I've got jungle warfare field op on this island, cold weather training in Fuji, Japan, and desert training at Mojave Viper in California.

My whole life, I was the type to watch the news and hear about the routine deaths of military personnel fighting overseas and honestly not think twice about it. I had never imagined that my moment would come where I'd be in that position. I guess I just took everything for granted. Now I have to live with the reality that at any moment my life could be ended by a roadside bomb, IED, or sniper.

November is the last month I've got before this all kicks off. Then things are going to start getting crazy. Wish me luck ;)

[Falonefal]

Good luck and come back in one piece...

[WeirdJamFace]

Newgrounds has lost one of it's greatest!

[Angerpains]

[FIGMENTUM]

Best of luck mate, hope all goes well over there and you return safely to your loved ones.

i would rather be a merc or spenznaz due to even harsher training and extreme resistance compared to the good'ol starts and stripes M corps and you can ask anyone in or was in the military training is everything a master can do more with nothing but a rock that a novice with the latest techonolgical marvel

Thank you, the military does a decent job of ensuring that family is not forgotten. When getting deployed I'll get to see my family for a week or two before I go to Afghanistan. I really look forward to this as it will be the first time I've seen my parents in a year.

Good luck man.

Hoping to join the Army at the end of November.

Soon this young lad will be 6 feet under. I feel sorry for your family.

Watch out for those, they will kill you just because you are an "infidel". Rest in peace my friend.

[GiantDouche]

If you want an easy out just shoot yourself in the foot.

Hey hey, watch out guys.

This guy knows his shit, he's a military expert, don't you guys doubt his knowledge.

I mean, he's pretty 1337 at Call of Duty games he obviously knows everything there is to know about war.

Yeah I loved that part in Call of Duty where you shoot yourself in the foot to get off on medical leave. I have 3 friends in the military. I think I know a tad more than you.

[megakill]

[The-Condor]

Don't ask, Don't tell.

[camobch0]

Good luck, keep your hands off the trigger unless you're in an alley, and don't go in first.

[Blush]

Well good luck, and don't get shot. Well I guess get shot, but only in the foot if you want to get the easy way out :P

Actually, the easy way out would be to put an armed grenade in your mouth, I think all the pain is over VERY quickly.

Good luck man.
Make somebody proud.
