You are a Marine forever

Drill Instructors

A Navy Psychologist explained this to me once.

When a person enlists in the Air Force for 6 years and gets out it takes them about 5 to 6 hours to readjust to civilian life. A sailor who enlists in the Navy for 6 years takes about 6 to 7 months to readjust back into civilian life. A person who enlists in the Army for 6 years takes about 6 to 7 years to readjust back into civilian life.

You Marines, after you graduate from Marine Corps Boot Camp, you will never readjust back into civilian life.

You are a Marine forever

Welcome to the Average Joe Weekly blog. This is basically my place on the web where I can help spread some of the knowledge that I have accumulated over the years. I served 10+ years in the Marine Corps on Active Duty, but that was some 25 years ago.
