Adrian Pineda

Dallas, TX

When I graduated from high school I already knew what I wanted to do! When they asked, "Adrian what are your plans now?" I answered with a big smile on my face "I'm already enlisted in the United States Marine Corps!" I enlisted during my senior year, in the first semester, when I was still seventeen, I didn't waste any time! My reasons for joining are simple. I wish to do my part, education and the pride to say, I'm a UNITED STATES MARINE! Thanks to my three and a half years in Marine Corps JROTC, I get to graduate from bootcamp a Private First Class and also I know about the Corps! All thats left is to wait until I can get on the plane headed to San Diego, it all takes place in August. Thanks for taking the time to read the beginning of my story, SEMPER FI
