McRd Making Marines Jim Boone

MCRD - Marine Corps Recruit Depot MCRD is a saga of screw ups too side-splitting to be believed. This story relates the humor, and laughter depicted in the anthology of thoughts and memories created by one man, in one platoon, in one company, during one summer at MCRD. Enjoy the journey of 58 "boys" as they suffer the transition to become one of The Few-The Proud- a United States Marine. "You'll dye laughing. MCRD is a place, chosen and designed by persons of wisdom, to make the best Marines on God's earth. Some break and fall along the way! Others, learn to fear failure and disappointment more than death itself. Those who accept the challenge, through sweat and agony, become members of a storied brotherhood and receive a title viewed in awe, while others fail to understand their unbreakable creed. To be there, is a life changing experience. Lessons and loyalties learned will follow them, and influence them the remainder of their days. The author believes God allows us to only remember the humor, and not relive the "wish I could die" part! After this read, see if you agree. Enjoy!
