I feel the same. I was heading down the wrong path in life, had dropped out of high school, was working crappy dead end jobs... The Marine Corps gave me motivation and focus. It was the best thing I ever did.
The general public - at least here in the United States - think the military is all about making war. It is so much more than that. In many respects it's very similar to college - it takes young men (and women) and gives them a world of education, the kind of education you will never get in college.
