Um, what did you do to yourself? I see you with a splint and crutches!

Thanks for your service, and Semper Fi.

LOL, MY nephew has USMC tatted on his bicep- I always laugh and say that to him.

You have to look closer but I had not one but two robo-boots (splints).

I joined but never made it out of Boot. I spent 4 months in Boot instead of 11 and a half weeks, about half of that was in the broken platoon. Extensive stress fractures to both ankles caused by tendons stretching, also causing chronic bursitis in both hips. You cant be a Marine if you cant run. 13 years later if I try to run a mile I cant walk the next day.

I learned a lot about our countries history as well as the history of the USMC in those 4 months and I am extremely proud of both.
