If We Can Do It You Can, Too

April 9, 2009

After 20 years as a grunt I retired in 2003. I worked in surveying for about a year or so, and then returned to school at East Carolina University where I earned a BS in Construction Management.

While I was there I ran into an old friend who was also retired from the Marine Corps and was working toward a BA degree in History Education. Now, neither one of us were rocket scientists in our former active-duty life -- we were both grunts. If we could do it, you can too.

Semper Fi to all Marines, Sailors, Coasties, Soldiers and Airmen!
