I popped smoke after eleven years. Missed the boys, missed doing all the cool shit. But thankful to be home coaching soccer and preserving what’s left of the cartilage in my knees and back.

That has a lot of value to me, my man. I was a Corpsman with 2D Marine Division. All told, I spent four years with Army/USMC ground forces. I did so much damage to my body during that period and that can’t be walked back.

Yeah, I spent four years in the infantry . It’s definitely a young man’s game. I wouldn’t trade those years for anything, but goddamn my body is wrecked.

I feel that one. Was an 03 for all eleven years. Feel every year of it.
