Today in class we had the privilege to listen to the girl talk about her experience in the Marine Corp. I thought it was really interesting and she gave great insight on what life was like as a woman going through Marine training. The reason I found her presentation so interesting was because my great uncle went to college at West Point and decided to stay in the Army after his 4 years were up. Through the years he moved up through the ranks and now holds some prestigious position in the Army. I am not very close with this uncle so he has not told me very many stories but as I grew up my mom and her side of the family always wanted me to go to West Point and follow in my uncles footsteps. Her whole side of the family sees Jody (my uncle) as a hero. Through his service he has lived all over the world including germany, Chile, Uruguay, Panama, and various places in the United States. Although i didn't know how this girl was going to finish her service it brought back memories of Jody.
