My impression of the Marine 12 00:00:24,077 --> 00:00:27,840 corps recruiting and training was that 13 00:00:27,850 --> 00:00:31,240 typical full metal jacket . This is 14 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,462 very eye opening . I'm so happy to have 15 00:00:33,462 --> 00:00:35,810 this opportunity because there's so 16 00:00:35,810 --> 00:00:37,866 much more to it than that . When the 17 00:00:37,866 --> 00:00:40,032 drill instructors got us off the bus , 18 00:00:40,032 --> 00:00:42,199 we stood on the yellow footprints that 19 00:00:42,199 --> 00:00:44,421 to me personally , the most humbling to 20 00:00:44,421 --> 00:00:46,588 know that our nation's finest . That's 21 00:00:46,588 --> 00:00:48,699 where they started . They really like 22 00:00:48,699 --> 00:00:50,754 how uh in this opportunity we got to 23 00:00:50,754 --> 00:00:52,643 see the different stages that the 24 00:00:52,643 --> 00:00:54,643 recruits will go through and really 25 00:00:54,643 --> 00:00:57,370 what it takes to become a marine . Now 26 00:00:57,380 --> 00:00:59,324 after attending this event in this 27 00:00:59,324 --> 00:01:01,600 conference , I realized that there is a 28 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,310 lot of care behind all these gentlemen 29 00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:06,560 and ladies that are working uh that 30 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,782 they care about the recruits . But also 31 00:01:08,782 --> 00:01:10,949 the fact that there's a lot of reasons 32 00:01:10,949 --> 00:01:12,616 behind what they do . I would 33 00:01:12,616 --> 00:01:14,838 definitely recommend this experience to 34 00:01:14,838 --> 00:01:14,530 other educators because I think it's 35 00:01:14,530 --> 00:01:17,360 really important for us to know what 36 00:01:17,370 --> 00:01:19,592 all of our options are for our students 37 00:01:19,592 --> 00:01:21,703 and I really have a very high opinion 38 00:01:21,703 --> 00:01:23,703 of the marines Now .
