sorry, you gave the impression things arent getting pushed because of your dad......given it happened to you as an individual and not really against his property where your living i just dont see where your dad factors in.....
and i think your view of the marines attitude is a bit skewed.....what your stating aint my experience....i never joined the service due to health issues but ive got plenty of friends and family in and retired from all branches, and before you call BS keep in mind ive got 17 aunts and uncles that are blood relatives, i am not including their spouses and around 60 first cousins and military service is big in my family.....most marines tend to be tough SOB's, my uncles and cousins are, but if you aint willing to stomp these idiots into the ground now your not going to be willing to do it once your a marine......those kinda things are ingrained into you now....and time in the marines didnt change that kinda stuff in them.....
