 humor to deal with some of the difficulties we endure but that has really paid off for me i was a natural entertainer growing up so it kind of ended up being a perfect fit i never predicted though at age 17 when i joined that i would do 20 years and retire as a gunnery sergeant i i just thought four years and you know that'll be it and here i am so i'm grateful that i had uh either the uh wisdom or lack of wisdom to go for the whole haul i'm really thrilled that i did it
