I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him. ~Abraham Lincoln. I think the person who got me interested in this career is my dad. Why because the things he told me about. In order to get a better understanding as a marine, I will be researching 6 topic areas nature of work, the working conditions, the training, qualification, advancement, and earnings.
