Just came across your entry. I never respond to or even spend time reading through people's random online posts such as this. I'm not quite sure why your words have resonated with me at this very moment but I do know that I truly enjoyed reading every bit of it. I find it to be very open, honest, and humbling, which; really is enough to leave me smiling inside (while I carry on trying to get some work done over the weekend). I'd be interested in reading any future posts you decide to share. Last, and most importantly - as Steve(Morning5tar) replied... THANK YOU for your many sacrifices all in an effort to help keep us safe. And, for what it's worth...even if your future plans change, I still remain a fan of yours:-)
Take care and all the best to you.

Our government bribes those that didn’t exceed in school with a free college education and room and board, if they defend our country. What they don’t tell you is that you come out as damaged goods.
My daughter is being partly raised by A USMC graduate and he’s twisted. The government wants to use and abuse you. Don’t fall for it. You’ll be defending something not worth defending. -
That’s honorable but ...don’t do it. The service changes people. And not for the better.

I didn't have an account a few moments ago, but I wanted to create one to say thank you. Thank you for the sacrifice you are about to make to keep us safe. It didn't sit right with me that you were writing this entry and what you are going to go through and no one said anything.
So thank you.

I just wanted to let people know [whoever cares] that I have begun the process of becoming a United States Marine. My bootcamp date, as of now, is April 5th, 2021, as per my admission into the delayed entry program. Other than my family and some of the my friends, not a whole lot of people who know me are aware of my efforts, so I decided to "vent" it here on my songmeanings journal. I only walked into the Marine Corps recruiter's office a few weeks ago, on May 15th, and already, I am a "poolee" who is medically qualified with an ASVAB score of 94. About a month ago, I was not affiliated with the U.S. military at all, hence why the comparison to my current status has led me to title this entry "My Radical Change". It only took me a month to completely change the course of my life, and even though nothing really "significant" has actually occurred, I am excited (as well as scared shitless) about the coming months leading up to boot camp.
I usually am not this forward with these types of matters, but because I've been on songmeanings for a few years, I thought it might be the perfect place to share some of my more personal thoughts so as to give my account a bit more character to it, rather than just a collection of lyrics and artists I post up every now and then when I hear one of interest. In other words, I want you all to know that there is a person behind this account, and in the future, most likely around the summer/spring seasons, I will be gone for some time. There will probably be no submissions for a while, and the U.S.M.C. is most likely going to be the reason why.
Also, considering that some people in the past have died during Marine Corps boot camp, I wish to inform people as to the possibility of one day having no more submissions produced by this account. If by this time next year, there are no more submissions, this journal entry here should provide the context needed for people to not wonder "What happened to ThrashAddict?"
Thank you for your understanding and I hope to submit as much as possible before being shipped off to the unknown.
