I'm not going to lie. There are a lot of fucking losers in the Marine Corps. But to become a Marine you have to go through a hell of a lot more shit than any other branch. And the Marine Corps has the smallest percentage of females just about 10%, so to be a female and make it in the Marines is even harder. I could have joined any branch I wanted to but I chose the Marines. The Marines are the most respected military branch. In every movie and every book and every story every badass is a Marine (if not a Seal) there's a reason for that. Is every Marine actually a badass?... absolutely not I can vouch for that. Are all female Marines badasses most fucking definitely not! In fact that's a huge hurdle I had to overcome was the automatic bias against females in the Marine Corps as being those couldn't carry their weight.When was a kid I thought the Marines were the fucking coolest but as ive gotten older an met a bunch of them ive realized most of them are complete fuckin losers that had nothing goin for them in life. Then to hear you brag that your a "expert" as a threat really makes me think that.
That made me work even harder to prove that I was not one of those. I was promoted meritoriously three out of five ranks because I worked my ass off to show that not only was I equal to but better than a lot of the lame ass males that were my peers. I was the first female to attempt Patrol leaders course in my unit in Japan and was actually voted top of the Class by the 13 other male members of my class. I carried my weight I did the work I showed up and I showed out and I had the bruises and scars to prove it. And I'm proud of that.
