Young man changes his life now he’s a Marine

[Guest]

Good on the lad :smiling3:.

My personal best wishes for his new life from a seasoned soldier to a young and bold soldier.
Serving own Country is always a choice to be proud of.

Hey Lee,

Best wishes for him from me too. A good head on his shoulders to turn life around. The same with me, but almost 10 years later before I woke up...

All the best to this young man. To achieve so much from such a difficult beginning shows courage and determination.

Thanks to all of you I will definitely pass your kind words and encouragement to him.

Good for him, to be honest I am proud of him myself. He looked around him and decided that the life he had seen and was in was not good and he did something about it. Good luck to him as a Marine and may he mature into a wonderful man with many years of happiness and maybe a family of his own one day.
Thank you for sharing this story, wish maybe more young people would see that it takes a lot of hard work, not just physically but mentally to make things happen...for many it far easier to take the path of least resistance, even if that means drugs, criminality, prison or even a young death.

Thank you Ed for your reply. I will be sure to pass your encouraging words on to him.
