Ever wonder why our military personnel are the finest around? Because they have guts. Grit & determination. Add that to the finest training and top-notch equipment and you have a combo that can’t be beat. (As long as the politicians stay out of their way, that is…)
Case in point, Fox News is reporting…
LEWISTON, Maine â€??? Army and Navy recruiters took one look at 330-pound Ulysses Milana and told him to forget about joining. “You’ve got to lose weight,” Milana remembers them saying.
But Marine recruiters were willing to work with him as he began his weight-loss journey in December 2007.
Now, 11 months later, Milana is 140 pounds lighter as he leaves Monday for Parris Island, S.C., to begin boot camp.
It wasn’t easy, Milana said, but he managed to slim down through exercise, healthier eating habits and forgoing an occasional beer after work. The 23-year-old said he even refused a beer at his going-away party Saturday night.
Milana said he always wanted to follow in his family’s footsteps by serving his country. His wife, Latoya, also comes from a military family.
I believe there is but one thing to left to say…
Bull, out.
God bless the USMC and those that serve.
