My grandpa was a drill instructor (or
sergeant... I can't remember which is for what branch) in the Navy, and carried
that attitude into his home life. My dad was in the Navy, but I don't know
him well enough to say what he's like. And my ex-husband was in the Army
for a short time - he left before he finished basic, though, when a wall locker
fell on him and crushed his foot - he opted to leave rather than be
recycled. But he hated it anyway, and I don't think he has the right
personality for the military - too much of a free spirit mindset. I wanted
to join the Peace Corps, but decided against it when I became pregnant with my
oldest son. Since I have three military branches covered in three
generations of male relatives, think that means my son will join the Air
Force?

You'd be
surprised how little the marines have changed. Either way, the same
argument applies. my dad was in the service and his home port was on a
marine base. he wasn't like that at all. Neither were any of his
friends. and amazingly, he was of Italian descent,
too!
