00:01.250 --> 00:03.599
The reason why this recruit joined the

00:03.609 --> 00:06.550
Marine Corps was because my dad didn't

00:06.559 --> 00:08.726
even think I would be able to sign the

00:08.726 --> 00:10.781
first paper to actually apply to the

00:10.781 --> 00:14.090
Marine Corps . Obviously , I'm very

00:14.100 --> 00:17.209
short by male standards , but it's

00:17.219 --> 00:19.649
definitely a challenge to do certain

00:19.659 --> 00:22.579
things , not impossible but

00:23.180 --> 00:26.090
challenging . So I've been doing good

00:26.100 --> 00:29.370
about to take my MC MAT test . I'm

00:29.379 --> 00:31.212
confident that I will be able to

00:31.212 --> 00:34.860
perform every technique and pass the MC

00:34.919 --> 00:37.099
map test . My recruiter told me this

00:37.110 --> 00:39.360
wasn't going to be easy . But he told

00:39.369 --> 00:42.790
me that if I just applied myself and

00:42.799 --> 00:46.450
put every , every cell into what I did ,

00:46.630 --> 00:49.599
I'd walk across that parade deck . I

00:49.639 --> 00:52.669
think recruit training has molded me .

00:52.680 --> 00:55.450
Even if some things that I thought I

00:55.459 --> 00:58.229
wasn't able to do this place has taught

00:58.240 --> 01:01.990
me that I was able to do those things .

01:02.000 --> 01:04.809
Even when I was in my head telling

01:04.819 --> 01:06.875
myself no , I wouldn't be able to do

01:06.875 --> 01:09.889
this do that . The Marine Corps has

01:09.900 --> 01:13.500
taught me that it is possible even when ,

01:14.860 --> 01:16.309
even when it doesn't look like it
