I didn't mean to imply that you were lured into joining... I was really just curious about what attracts individuals to the Marines as opposed to other branches of the military, and also why you chose to join the military in the first place. What does it mean that you feel you were "born to be a warrior?" (I don't often get the chance to interview soldiers, so forgive my nosiness.)
Oh, correction on my last post: I checked the latest info on my crew coach, and he is actually a Lieutenant Colonel these days. He was called to active duty in 2002-03 but is back in reserves now, apparently.
