Narrative

"I joined the Marine Corps because I thought I wanted to leave home. My worst experience was being issued live BAR ammunition on the practice range, and its a wonder I did not accidentally kill someone, but of course, it was my fault someone issued me the live ammo so I had to carry five BAR's back to camp."
