Proud To Claim The Title

In October 2000 David signed an 8 year contract with the United State Marine Corps. This October, 2008, his contract will be completed. It seemed appropriate that he signify the end of a long journey. After years of thinking about it David finally went and received his first tattoo. He went with USMC.

Life in the Marine Corps wasn't always easy. During his time while serving he dealt with many hardships and left the service with bitter feelings toward the Marine Corps. After having time away from the service and assessing the situation he realized that the resentment was towards higher ranking individuals and some peers, not the Marine Corps. All in all it was a process that he had to go through and there's no denying that his experiences helped mold him into who he is today. And although he had times when he thought he wasn't proud to be a Marine he can stand today and say that he is, and will always be, proud to be a Marine. OohRah!
