If you join the Marine Corps you will be a better man for it, and you will not lose your identity as a result. Perhaps you have come to a point where you need external discipline to calm you and ground you to the realities of your existence, it is part of your spiritual journey. You will see stuff you don't agree with and meet people you wouldn't go out with back in the US, but you will also meet people who will back you up 100% and wiser men who will guide you in your toughest moments. You will also have a chance to educate yourself and if your become good at what you do you will be promoted and lead by example, YOUR example. So don't be disheartnened, you are not a loser because you are taking a moral position on your feeling towards uour country and you are about to travel the world, so fuck what these people say amd follow your heart, for it is in the right place. And no, I am not enlightened, just pragmatic. One day, when I have some money, I will donate to the USO so that maybe you will get the fhance to phone home on me. Be kool, brother. [/quote] Thank you man I appreciate it. Your words bring comfort to ny chaotic mind. I'm lost [/quote]

I am a fuck up. I have lost my mind and my way. I am poor I have no money, no future, no clue what to do. I am an American I have issues within myself. I have a bad temper and can't seem to be happy ever. So in order to "turn my life around" I decided to join the Marine corps. I believe it is a benevolent decision. True, mankind does not need war but it exists, and true, I don't need to be a soldier but someone els would..... If the US had no soldiers we would all be killed in an invasion. So I decided I'm going to do a few years as a rifleman and I'm going to school to become an anthropologist, travel the world and study the third eye chakra...... But I am worried that maybe I am wrong what if I go to hell or a "lower dimension" or just return to earth when I die. Please, I pray to god that he will send me an answer. I cant stay here..... I am here on earth for a reason and that reason is to improve quality of life for mankind....I can't think of any better way then the marines. I'm not "evil" or a bad person, but I'm afraid to become one. Please I need advice. Am I doing the right thing?
