It's still a free country. We guard our right to speak freely. However, it pains me that a vocal minority express on public blogs how much they hate their jobs with the all volunteer Marine Corps. Some go out of their way to poison those around them with negative and childish talk. Buck up boys and girls. Welcome to life. You are not living in a world free from having to be responsible for your attitudes and actions. That's right...! It amazes me that there is incessant whining.
In a screwed up world run by screwed up people what do you expect?
Choose how you respond. Choose to bring life to the table...day after day... a positive outlook... in the face of the crap that surrounds you... or an MOS that you have grown to dislike... or being stuck in some god-forsaken corner of the planet.
Look for the good. IT'S THERE! Acknowledge the bad when absolutely necessary but SEE the good and stay motivated. Be positive and quit being so stinking self-centered... and do NOT tolerate such conversation in others. It demoralizes and is an energy vortex sucking the life out of those who listen and participate.
Yes ideals wither and fade. So? Don't leave your training in Honor, Courage, and Commitment back at boot where it was force fed. You choose to be the stand out. Set new ideals. You be the standard. You choose to be the light in a world of dark, unfair, political garbage. Don't give in to the "Crab in the bucket" syndrome allowing others to pull you back down with their small stinking thinking. Remember what your mom said... "if you don't have anything good to say, shut up!"(my paraphrase). Be an example to those around you. Lead! Stand tall. Make a difference in the corner where you are planted... wherever that may be according to the "needs of the Marine's".
And for goodness sakes, work hard. Go the extra mile... and leave the complaining off the public blogs or other public venues. Just my 2 cents.
