Me in Ten Years

Me in Ten Years


I imagine myself in ten years as a staff sergeant or higher in the marine core as a marine a sniper. If this is what I imagine myself as in ten years then I would most likely be living in the forest some time or a little hut in the forest. The only time I will be getting around is if I have some kind of mission or if I have to travel somewhere to do my job as a sniper.
If I ever leave the service I will want to go to school in Michigan like somewhere close to home so I can see my family because if you’re in the service you barely ever see your family. If or when I get out of the service I will do many things in my spare time like cooking or maybe even play hockey again but most likely not community work because if find it boring. The day I get out of the marines I would like to get a girl friend and get married and have two maybe three kids with a decent house nothing too much.
I already know I will have money because when I go to the marines I would go in as a corporal and that means I would make anywhere from 50 -64 thousand dollars a year and 64,000 times 10 is 640,000 which is really good because that means I can get a decent car and good house to raise a family in. Another good thing is the marines will pay for my four full years of college or longer which means I could get a good job to.
Another thing is some of my friends are going to the marines to and they said that they would sign up with me so I won’t be going alone even though that eventually we will be shipped off to different places but it’s still something I could look forward to. There’s one reason out of five that I want to go to the marines is because my brother was going to go but ended up not going because he was scared so I want to show him that I’m not a little wimp like he says I am.
