I will never truly understand the ascension but I've heard tales of it from all the family members who've served. They all went through that feeling of being. It's pretty amazing and I have to admit I'm a little envious. My middle son actually wrote that he felt like his body was changing. He felt stronger in mind and body. My husband is Air Force too and he even said there isn't any better training or uniform better than the Marine Corps.
Fingers crossed they stay safe but the Marine states: Rifleman first.

We were told the Marines were, "First to go, Last to know". While the "jar head" was generally a derisive type of topic among fellow airmen, really everyone looks at the Marines as "the shit". And they are!
