Former Marines Deserve Something Better

Former To A Marine Rates A Zero On The Gung-Ho Scale

Whenever I have the opportunity to talk about my former life as a former-Marine – I feel that because I didn't go the distance and retire after 30 that my only recourse is to say I am a, well, " a former active duty" -Marine. Even though I served four hard years, one of them in a combat role, the word former is just too tame for me.

The excitement generated by former in front of such an outstanding word as marine is on par with the excitement you might feel when you discover (the smell is a big hint) that it's liver and onions in the chow hall again. Just about a zero on the Gung Ho! scale and man do I ever HATE liver!
