Happy 232nd Birthday… USMC

Yes, I served in the USMC. Spent three years on active duty during the Vietnam Conflict.
I must say, joining the Marine Corps was the best thing I’ve ever done. Going through Officer Candidate School (for college students) in preparation for accepting my commission taught me much about life, and persistence.
As an Officer I learned critical thinking in ways I could never have learned them as an employee, or even as a manager.
Yes, 232 years later, we’re still “The Proud, The Few, The Marines”.
While on active duty as a USMC Officer (Woman Marine) I was one of 212 women wearing that uniform… pretty special company. It’s an experience I’ll cherish forever.
Thank you… and Happy Birthday… USMC!
Buy me a beer and I'll write more posts more often.
