I, Marine
Top 10 questions I get asked, along with my responses:
Q10: So, what do you do?
A: I’m a Marine in the reserves.
Q09: No shit?
A: Yup.
Q08: Been deployed yet?
A: No. [Followed by whatever the last future deployment date I heard was.]
Q07: Are you nervous?
A: No, I’ve had a hell of a lot of training.
Q06: Have you heard about [recent events in Iraq]?
A: Yes.
Q05: So, what’s it like?
A: Not bad, once you hit the fleet. I especially like the boots and free drinks.
Q04: Is it true that [stupid question here]?
A: No. We do not actually piss acid.
Q03: What do you think of George W. Bush?
A: He’s my president and my commander-in-chief. If he gives me a lawful order, it is my duty as a United States Marine to carry it out to the very best of my ability. That said: long story short, I didn’t vote for him.
Q02: Why do a lot of Marines drive like that?
A: Because they’ve been deployed for a while, or haven’t been off-base long enough.
Q01: What’ll you have? I’m buying!
A: Double Jack, straight up. And, thank you.
